test_broker_type_bounce_at_start tries to validate that when the controller is down, the streams client will always fail trying to create the topic; with the current behavior of admin client it is actually not always true: the actual behavior depends on the admin client internals as well as when the controller becomes unavailable during the leader assign partitions phase. I'd suggest at least ignore this test for now until the admin client has more stable (personally I'd even suggest removing this test as its coverage benefits is smaller than its introduced issues to me).
Also adding a few more log4j entries as a result of investigating this issue.
