That's right. We have recently run into fun with this with some of the weirder buses.
On those we care about tight timing so need interrupts but the pin is used to
send as well so we go through an elaborate dance of disabling interrupts,
flipping direction setting the output and then flipping back again.
We used to get away with setting a pin to output with the interrupt enabled :) no longer...
