As I try this every couple of days to see if anything changes, so I did today -- and Ctrl-Alt-Fn worked! It worked reliably many times, I could log in to the tty session, and Ctrl-Alt-F7 would send me back to the X session.
Suspicious, I restarted the system, and the old problem was there again. On startup, there seems to be a small probability of getting a system without the error. But if the system starts up with the error it seems to persist.
I really tend to think this problem is unrelated to the original "usplash" bug.
