Perhaps it should be fixed to contain some magic token that is 
then detected by printk and handled appropiately? And then perhaps
employee some kernel janitors to add it everywhere?

I think that would be preferable over any heuristics as implemented
in your original patch because there might be a legitimate need to
get out non full line printks ASAP for debugging.
