Yeah, that's the point; I need to understand why lockdep doesn't
store the correct stack trace at dependency discovery.

Since the correct stack trace will be printed instead, it will help
debug the lockdep problem.

Hopefully, once the problem with the bad stacktraces are fixed, the
actual circular lock dependencies will be clear.

Kernel parameter:

log_buf_len=1G

I really just need the lockdep dependency stacks generated during boot,
and the ctrl+C in a terminal window to trigger one of the dependency
stacks.

Ok.

Not.

I think that probably does fix at least one circular dependency, but
I want to figure out the bad stack trace problem first.

There's probably another circular dependency there, as indicated by
your other report.
