Tried to reproduce this with another cable that should have all pins connected,
but it still workes for me.

It looks like the connection is not even detected in your case.

What does the host say? If the cable is connected before CTRL_DBC_ENABLED bit is
written on the target side, then the link should go to a inactive "error" state.
Host should try to recover the inactive link with a warm reset.

On host side dynamic debug for usb core and xhci can be added with:

echo -n 'module xhci_hcd =p' > /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control
echo -n 'module usbcore =p' >/sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control

xHCI documentation also states that Debug capability enable bit (CTRL_DBC_ENABLE)
could be toggled to retry failed enumeration. 

The non-early dbc that works for you does clear the control register before enabling
the debug capability, and it also skips port reset.
Something like the below could be worth trying out:
