Does that cause it to hang so hard it doesn't even notice a keyboard
being plugged in?

I suspect one reason coredumping is particularly disabling is that it
is a long operation that stays in the kernel the whole time.  If it's
bouncing back and forth between kernel and userland, I would expect
kernel facilities like USB hot-plug to run, possibly even userland -
though if userland needs to hit disk it will be sloooooow.
