NO, it shouldn't, we actually rely quite extensively on cpusets filled
with OOM_DISABLE threads to panic because the job scheduler would be
unresponsive in such a condition and it'd much better to panic and reboot
than to brick the machine. I'm not sure where you're getting all your
information from, but please don't pass it off as principles.
You can set the panic logic to be whatever you want with
/proc/sys/vm/panic_on_oom. See Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt for
more information.
