I didn't find anything helpful in /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug
regarging the tty module (I enabled tty_io debugs and it doesn't appear
in the logs), but I enabled cdc_acm debugs. Nothing is observable in the
logs when the bug appears. I logged everything as a comment of the gist:
https://gist.github.com/Julio-Guerra/b6529994f814771c825649bdb8d927c2#gistcomment-1875985

Note that re-running the script restarts the underlying kernel buffer
correctly, it does not restart from its previous bugged state.

Let me know if you want other debug traces enabled.
