So ... I took the next step :)
The fact that initctl -r -f reproduced the problem indicated the code area 
where
it's happening. The whole thing is actually quite simple, though I'm not sure
what changed in the kernel and/or glibc that made it fail now when it worked
earlier.
Basically, the code opened /dev/console for stdin, stdout and stderr. The
problem is, that it didn't actually close the existing stdin, stdout and 
stderr
first. So the messages got to whatever stdout was at that time. This 
apparently
changed in some (not so) recent kernel or glibc upgrade, which caused the 
breakage.
git commit 5ed4665d40b9da21e4e1291329022fd0f3899141.
