Binary package hint: plymouth
This bug occurs with the Framebuffer renderer backend, I have not yet been able to replicate it with the DRM renderer backend or with the text plugin. If you can replicate it with either of those, it is unlikely to be a different bug, so please add details to this one.
You have this bug if after booting, you see a text "login:" screen rather than the X server you were expecting - AND - if pressing Alt-F7 takes you to the X server with no further problems. Your boot has worked, you've just ended up on the wrong VT. If you have further problems, or no X server whatsoever, you have a different but so please file a new one.
Given we end up on VT1, it's strongly likely that plymouth has simply changed the VT on quitting like it does for those who don't have an X server. This is quite odd, because gdm should call plymouth with the --retain-splash argument that prevents this.
