The test calls different chains of method invocations of java and native methods in different states (alive, blocked) and verifies that getStackFrames looks correct. The stack might contain test classes with 3 different methods and some system classes. The test relies on system classes and their internal implementations. So it might start intermittently failing again if the implementation is changed. So it doesn't make sense to test method names for system classes at least.
So the test makes now only a sanity check that all classes and names are valid. Just to ensure that they are not corrupted.
