I believe the problem is in setfont, so I'm adding "kdb" to the affected projects.

setfont should at least indicate an error if it's unable to load the font because of grub graphics mode/plymouth/KMS/whatever, right?

It now happily says
"Loading 512-char 8x16 font from file /etc/console-setup/Uni2-TerminusBold16.psf
Loading Unicode mapping table..."
when I turn on its verbose mode in my /bin/setfont wrapper, but of course that font is never loaded unless I disable the grub graphics mode, vt.handoff=7, and KMS with nomodeset.
