There's another case where brltty needs to "see" a vt when it isn't open. For example, a command can be run asynchronously in a free vt via the openvt command. After the command finishes, the output remains on the vt's screen even though the vt itself has been closed. The user needs to still be able to switch to that vt and read it.
