It seems to be that the problem occurs after this:

** (lightdm:1153): WARNING **: Error using VT_WAITACTIVE 7 on /dev/tty0: Interrupted system call

(The console number depends on luck, of course.)

I would guess that whatever code is emitting that error message is not handling the situation correctly. In case of "Interrupted system call" I would guess the correct way to handle the problem is to repeat the system call. I think the code instead emits this error and proceeds blindly forward.
