That was a red herring, in fact it was due to different GCC.

(gdb) disas marker
Dump of assembler code for function marker:
   0x0000000000400826 <+0>:	push   %rbp
   0x0000000000400827 <+1>:	mov    %rsp,%rbp
=> 0x000000000040082a <+4>:	pop    %rbp
   0x000000000040082b <+5>:	retq   
End of assembler dump.

ptrace(PTRACE_POKEUSER, 24574, offsetof(struct user, u_debugreg), 0x40082a) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)

New GDB in the 'hbreak' case does not align the breakpoint address.
Attaching gzipped gdb.threads/watchpoint-fork-parent-st
from gcc-4.9.0-9.fc21.x86_64.
