Yes if consult.el was recompiled in this setup.

Yes I think so.

I think the next step is to narrow down the miss-compiled function.  For
that we can tweak speed on function basis like:

(defun foo (x y)
  (declare (speed 1))
  (+ x y))

As usual I'd start probing the suspect function `consult-buffer` and if
we find is not the coolprint I'd probably bisect all the functions in
the compilation unit.

Thanks
