That said, a bad adviser probably won't pay any attention to you. So you can do whatever you want for about 7 years until people realize you've made no progress and the wheels come off the bus (at which point they'll probably hand you a masters degree and send you on your way).

Do you incur debt if this happens, due to the cost of stipends and tuition waivers to the institution?

In the Ukrainian academy of sciences, if your institution doesn't let you go in peace, you pay back your stipend; if you finished your PhD program without defending, you have to either work for 3 years in your department or in another governmental institution (doesn't matter which, just not for a private business), or pay back the stipend. Not Fun:)
