That's no problem and can be worked around in software, unless I
completely misunderstand what the JTAG select pins does. Normally the
JTAG select pins are not used for SD JTAG debugging, instead you
activate the JTAG port by software.
We have a small SD image which switches the port to JTAG and then loops
infinitely, allowing you to switch from SD card to JTAG probe and
continue debugging early bootloaders. See jtag-loop in sunxi-tools,
available as both source and binary.
If you want to JTAG the kernel then a little command in u-boot can do
the same, combined with a script.bin which do not enable MMC0.
For debugging SD boot process you want to use the other JTAG port
anyway, so nothing lost there.

I certainly have interest, but not in a panic.
