Thanks a lot, Christian, for the info!

Current Debian stable (Bookworm), released a few months ago, ships
Linux 6.1, so I'm closing this bug as fixed.

I understand this problem affects only Bullseye (and older systems) on
NFS root. The fact it took more than 2 years since the Bullseye
release for anyone to report it gives us an indication that the impact
is minimal. And now we know the workaround should be relatively
straightforward for the kind of user who are able to set up NFS root:
upgrade to Bookworm's kernel. Therefore I don't think it would be
a good usage of limited Debian volunteer resources to spend time
backporting the fix for Bullseye.

Cheers,
