ESP32-S3 TouchIn on onboard I2C pin causes hang

CircuitPython 8.0.5
Adafruit ESP32-S3 Reverse TFT Feather
Trying to use board.D3 (aka board.SDA) as a TouchIn causes a hang.

import touchio

print("")
print("touchio_test.py")

while True:
    touch_pin = touchio.TouchIn(board.D3)
    print(touch_pin.value)
    time.sleep(0.1)

Out of curiosity tried to reproduce on regular esp32, however got a weird crash, not a hang.

Adafruit CircuitPython 8.1.0 on 2023-05-22; M5Stack Timer Camera X with ESP32
>>> import board, digitalio, touchio
>>> a = touchio.TouchIn(board.G13)
>>> a.value
False
>>> a.deinit()
>>> a = touchio.TouchIn(board.G4)
>>> a.value
False

This is one of the 3 i2c busses of the board.
On the other one, same deal fine.
On the 3rd one, and specifically pin board.BM8563_SCL, which is pin_GPIO14, this happened:

>>> a = touchio.TouchIn(board.BM8563_SCL)
>>> a.value
False
>>> a.deinit()

i just tested it with the REPL:

Adafruit CircuitPython 8.0.5 on 2023-03-31; Adafruit Feather ESP32-S3 Reverse TFT with ESP32S3
>>> import board
>>> import touchio
>>> touch_pin = touchio.TouchIn(board.D3)

at this point the ESP32-S3 (in my case a Adafruit ESP32-S3 Reverse TFT Feather )
REPL is unresponsive till i reset it.
the CIRCUITPY disc is still working!

This may have to do with the powerful pull up on an I2C bus...

i read somewhere that at initializing the lib tries to measure a base value for non-touch state.
maybe this times out in some way because of the pullup? (some sort of out of range / overflow thing?)
