OK, this is somewhat different to what I expected.  The output you are
receiving means that the kernel has recognised and is using a serial
console.

This implies that the console input path is not working,

Can you explain what you mean here.  You just said you can't enter any
input to the console so how are you logging in?

If you switch back to graphical console but leave getty enabled on ttyd0,
can you then login via the serial port?

This is definitely not correct and is likely to be the associated with
the problem.  I don't understand why the SIO ports are probed twice.

Would it be possible to get verbose dmesg from both i386 and amd64
boots?
