I usually read the first couple comments on an article before reading the article itself. I was all set to write a comment disagreeing with you after reading the first couple paragraphs, but by the end I completely agreed. Sounds like it would really disturb my flow while debugging. I'm sure there's reasons it would be a bad idea, but having the ability to ignore errors like this when building a Debug build seems like it could be a solution.

There are plenty of workarounds. Anyway, like others I work full-time with Go and it has become an absolute non-issue for me. In 80% of the cases fmt is already imported, but in 99% of the cases I have a global variable log defined in every package anyway -- and if not I define it. (Working often test-driven, I avoid the issue totally by doing t.Logf.) So yes, every 2 months (I'm serious) I'm running into the OP's problem and it happens that I'm writing fmt.Printf("") -- but this almost exclusively happens on "Pastebin-projects". There is great reasoning behind the concept of providing as few exceptions as possible to the users. Sometimes it means adapting your workflow/thinking, but I guess this is the case for every language if you want to become truly productive.
