Why shouldn't the ECB monetize this debt? It's a race to the bottom for gawd's sake!

The only issue is whether all other main countries/currencies paired with the $USD will do the same.

Who will be the bagholder?

Its very clear that Trichet will do what Dominique and the IMF tell him. Which is 'Keep Calm and Carry On'. What the IMF should be saying is 'Now Panic and Freak Out', but thats not politically acceptable.
