Perhaps there is some register on the controller chip that
affects receiving data but not sending it, and isn't getting
initialized.  Perhaps the controller chip thinks it is receiving
bad data, and flags an error or requests a bus reset?

If the resets are happening faster than the printf can run,
maybe the data (generation number) changes underneath the printf,
much like ps/top don't get a pure snapshot?
