Note that this means what it says: if your expression contains a symbol

on the address in memory of what you're trying to watch, and not
necessarily on its symbolic name.
Indeed. Usually the convenient thing to do is:
(gdb) p&foo->bar
$22 = (int *) 0x12345
(gdb) watch *$22
Thanks, but my trouble though is what to watch. My thought was to watch
the location of the guard variable that the stack protector code checks,
but I have no idea how to find that out.
