This problem is still present in Emacs 29 (whether blink-cursor-mode is
enabled or not (it was reported that switching it off would mitigate the
problem)).

So I guess process output makes the thing that displays `C-x -' (or `C-h
-') short-circuits a timeout somewhere?  Hm...  this sounds familiar; I
feel I've seen a discussion of this somewhere semi-recently.  Anybody
remember?
