So it seems that my initial test was not good enough.

diff --git a/drivers/char/virtio_console.c b/drivers/char/virtio_console.c

Does fix the problem.
My initial test was the following

--- a/drivers/char/virtio_console.c
+++ b/drivers/char/virtio_console.c
@@ -790,10 +790,8 @@ static int wait_port_writable(struct port *port, bool nonblock)

}
/* Port got hot-unplugged. */
if (!port->guest_connected)

and obviously it did not provide an exit path.
