Yes, illegal breaks are fouls and do count toward a player's 3 consecutive fouls count. So a player who commits 3 consecutive break shot fouls would automatically lose the game under the three consecutive fouls rule.
To re-phrase, if you foul on a legal break shot or an illegal break shot, those do count toward the three consecutive foul count.
UPA Tour 9 Ball Rules Section 3.0 - Legal Break Shot:
NOTE: A foul on a legal break counts toward the three fouls in the “Three Consecutive Fouls” loss of game rule (see 8.2).
Texas Express 9 Ball Rules
Any foul occurring prior, during, or after the break is included in the three (3) foul rule and is considered the first foul.
UPA 9 Ball Rules for Amateur 9-Ball
Note: A foul on the break counts toward the three fouls in the “Three Consecutive Fouls” loss of game rule (see 8.2). Also note that in regards to the 9 ball 3 successive fouls rule, that after your second successive foul your opponent or a referee must warn you that you are on two fouls and you must acknowledge the warning.
