Description

When enabling backtraces, I'd expect that to also work for Miri (to show the backtrace of an ICE). But currently, the setting seems to be just ignored.

Research direction

Start by tracing how the "Backtrace" setting is passed into Miri execution and compare it with the path used for other runs. Reproduce an ICE with backtraces enabled and confirm that Miri includes the expected backtrace rather than ignoring the setting.
