according to a wikipedia article, the Barkhausen-Kurz oscillator used
triodes. So I'm still puzzled.
I'll try to make a test setup with constant current on a GDT and try
to measure the frequency of the oscillation.

You can get Barkhausen oscillations in light bulbs, as I said. If you
have a spectrum analyzer, you can find out pretty fast.
