Is that a different scenario than what will happen during
   LOGGER.info("Sending packet: {}", packet);
?

I can imagine similar scenarios for custom Appenders and all the other 
objects; these may even have serious reason to log stuff (e.g. to 
diagnose issues in their own machinery).

The way out would be to just save such logging requests while a log 
request is being processed.
I dimly recall having seen just that, though I don't recall details and 
may have misassociated the code.
