'all' is certainly too much.  You might try 
      '-vmdebug INIT,GCDIAG,EXCEPTION'

Hmm... looks like not all the GC debug macros were updated when the GC
header layout was changed.  Try changing the 2nd line of the macro
(set $gcBlock= ...)  to:
	set $gcBlock = &(((gc_block *)gc_block_base)[(((uintp) ($arg0)) - gc_heap_base)/gc_pgsize])

The block header you gave looks reasonable (one of the 327 possible
48 byte blocks on the page has been used).  At least, as long as
0x60000000000982c0 looks like a reasonable memory address to you.
