And the painful slow bisecting did lead to that commit:

[2fa645cb2703d9b3786d850db815414dfeefa51d] of: Fix premature
bootconsole disable with 'stdout-path'

$ git show 2fa645cb2703d9b3786d850db815414dfeefa51d
commit 2fa645cb2703d9b3786d850db815414dfeefa51d

    of: Fix premature bootconsole disable with 'stdout-path'

    Support for devicetree serial consoles via 'stdout-path' causes
    bootconsoles to be disabled when the vt dummy console loads, since
    there is no preferred console (the preferred console is not added
    until the device is probed).

    Ensure there is at least a preferred console, even if never matched.
