It seems i should have been more explicit.. :>

I've been building X for the last few days (couldn't resist), and VT_ACTIVATE
is required by the X server. particularly, this is the offending code in
cvsweb [1]

However, this recent change made by Branden might be significative:

929. Add a "DontVTSwitch" option to allow VT switching to be disabled
      (on platforms where the X server initiates VT switches) (#5640,
      Branden Robinson).
