I introduced that code in 2019, saying:

    Currently the test fails when when running against a GNAT runtime
    without debug info.  This is the case, for example, on Arch Linux using
    the distribution package.

However, now, on the same system (but obviously not the same package
versions, as I keep it up to date), I see the same as you:

    (gdb) ptype s
    type = <ref> new pck.shape with record
        r: integer;
    end record
    (gdb) FAIL: gdb.ada/ptype_tagged_param.exp: ptype s, without debug info

Do you know what could have changed?  New improved DWARF info from a
newer compiler?

In any case, your change LGTM, since it will still cause a fail if we do
have debug info but see the bad output.
