The xprop command reports the correct VT.
I am not sure quite how the WINDOWPATH variable is meant to work. First
time I login it is set to 7 and then when I logout and back in it reads
7:8. Now if I logout and back in again X stays on tty8 and WINDOWPATH
reads 7:8:8 but Braille still remains on tty7. Tomorrow I will see what
the archlinux system reports for these, but may be you can tell me what
they should read to be correct.
I am starting gnome with GDM and on debian it is 2.20.x (can't remember
the exact version) and on archlinux we are on 2.30.x.
Anymore thoughts?

On my debian system for some reason when I logout and log back in to
gnome the X server moves up a terminal (from tty7 to tty8). When this
happens on my debian system the Braille output of orca is left on the
old terminal (tty7 in this case) and the new terminal (tty8) just
shows "screen not in text mode".
Apparently Orca doesn't notice the VT change. How is X started? Could
you check that the value reported by
xprop -root | grep XFree86_VT
is properly updated? Could you also check whether the WINDOWPATH
environment variable received by Orca is also properly updated?
I believe the issue is neither in BRLTTY or Orca, but in the invoker of
the X terminal, which doesn't properly set the session.
Interestingly I don't see this on an archlinux system (the archlinux
system still suffers from X moving up a terminal, it doesn't suffer this
Braille issue).
Please check the differing version of gdm/xdm/etc. that spawns the X
server.
