I found a PDF of Jaynes and read the part at the end of chapter 2. There it said to read Appendix A, and I did that, too.
Sorry, but in Appendix A, quickly Jaynes doesn't understand the Kolmogorov foundations. E.g., he confuses a trial and an event. Not good.
For what he thought about "ill posed", etc., problems, I couldn't find.

Jaynes' book has a full chapter on "Paradoxes of Probability Theory", including Borel's paradox (or Borel-Kolomogorov paradox).
