Taking a BO job = accumulating BO experience, which makes you naturally better suited for BO roles. It's not about getting stuck, it's about the experience you are accumulating. If anything, having BO experience on your CV is worse than having no banking experience on your CV.

Point taken, which sounds very likely for people trying to move from BO to FO roles. However for a role in say, credit risk, what kind of experience would be beneficial? Or would you just have to get a job in that area from graduation? Would a fresh grad be better than someone with some experience (albeit in a BO role)?
