Confirmed. Running the above repro against zookeeper trunk produces a
responsive consumer that successfully rebalances when the broker
rejoins.

Yeah, it's unclear that zk-3.3.4 will release anytime soon. Instead of
relying on zk chroot, why not just expose the zk paths as config
parameters for consumers, brokers, and producers?
object ZkUtils {
val ConsumersPath = "/consumers"
val BrokerIdsPath = "/brokers/ids"
val BrokerTopicsPath = "/brokers/topics"
