Rather by coincidence (at least I think its a coincidence) the problem
has recently become much more obvious.
0d00449c7a28 ("x86: Replace ist_enter() with nmi_enter()") just brought
this to the surface by treating debug traps as NMIs. This means the CPU
that takes a breakpoint, and where almost all of the kdb printk() calls
take place, will now unconditionally have printk() interception enabled.
