> but can you point to any prosecution of someone for a _prose description_ of circumvention (as opposed to actually making code available)?

I'll do you one better: 2600 Magazine was prohibited from saying which website hosted DRM-circumvention code:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_City_Studios,_Inc._v...

They were legally prohibited from saying, on their own website, words like "You can get DeCSS from http://lemuria.org/~tom/DeCSS/" and nothing else. Criminalised speech.
