Then you are looking an a small market.

Obviously, since I doubt it's possible for anybody to use a
significant portion of the parts on the market.

Many parts still have ICE.

Right, but it sure seems to be getting pretty rare.

There are also chips with Jtag and or BDM or Nuxus or ...

That's about as good as it gets these days.

Not exactly that is about to change.

If you like a Second generation JTAG+ Trace that is closer to
ICe functionality.

At the last embedded systems conference I went to, a lot of
vendors were flogging the JTAG-based trace stuff, and it sure
would be nice.

Lot of it about.

I've got a real-time state-machine problem I'm
trying to fix right now and if I could get a timestamped trace
of writes to a couple addresses, it probably would have been
fixed a week ago. :/

You need an ICE :-) What is the MCU?


But, none of the parts I've ever used supported anything other
than the basic "halt the processor and examine the state" JTAG
interfaces. Maybe I'm just not spending enough money on
processors.

What is the processor. AFAIK there are Ice for PIC, and 51 up. It is the bigger parts that don't have ICE.
