I have personally seen this happen in the past 12 months with the standard break enabled.
Literary hundreds of times using workstations, laptops, wyse terminals, xyplexes, etc. to connect to the serial console, for years.

iscc(7) Miscellaneous Information Manual iscc(7)
NAME
iscc - serial communications interface
SYNOPSIS
controller iscc0 at isa0
DESCRIPTION
An onboard Zilog 8530 DUART provides AXPvme-based Single Board Computers with console (CON) and auxiliary (AUX) serial communications
ports. Both serial communications ports can operate at baud rates from B50 to B38400, excluding B134 (see tty(7)).
On AXPvme Single Board Computers configured with a graphics head as the system console, the CON serial communications port (/dev/tty01) is
available for use by application programs as an additional communications port.
In the absence of a graphics head, the CON serial communications port (/dev/console) becomes the system console. When used as the serial
system console, the CON serial communications port always operates at 9600 BPS, 8-bits, and no parity.
Regardless of system console, the AUX serial communications port (/dev/tty00) is always available for use by application programs.
RESTRICTIONS
Data communications equipment attached to the CON serial communications port must be set to 9600 BPS, 8-bits, no parity when configured as
the serial system console. The iscc terminal driver enforces this restriction.
No modem control is supported for either the CON or AUX serial communications ports.
