Unless Factorio does something weird I am not aware of, *.pdb visual studio program database files are not needed only during the development process. Once you have a shippable binary, it is safe to delete them.

Not a bug.
The .pdb file is used to generate a human-readable stacktrace for the log file, see this thread:

Ah, nice one!
Most devs don't go into such depths to investigate stack dumps.
Thank you!
