This bug should be fixed soon. I sent an email to the maintainer of sysvinit scripts. The kdm (i.e. /etc/init.d/kdm) script at line 59 calls /etc/init.d/usplash stop instead of /etc/init.d/usplash start. Also before line 59 add a new line setting the environment variable DO_NOT_SWITCH_VT=yes.

Refer to the gdm script if you get confused.
