No and I just saw the same thing on 7.99.20 GENERIC/amd64.
After a boot -2vx, w tells me I'm root on console.
<Ctrl>-<Alt>-<Esc> does not get me into ddb.
I tried changing hw.cnmagic to 0xb, and hitting <Ctrl>-K also does nothing.
boot -2vxd does get me into ddb
Note the -2 which switches off ACPI and suggests that this isn't PR 48494...

Also hoping for clues...
