Is it possible to create something where knowing about the thing constitutes copyright infringement?

Yeah this was something else I was thinking of. I'm not exactly sure about the mechanics of the infringement here, but it seems like simply knowing a thing taints you for producing a work. I guess it's more about ease of proving?

The key here is that it taints you, not the thing. Just because the source code of eg.: Acrobat is known because the source is leaked, that does not make the source code of an alternative instantly illegal.
