There should be at least some message on the terminal, although other
people have not been able to log in in that situation either[1].

That's not the same problem. In fact, it is not even a problem but
merely the fact that getty starts up much faster than X.

You should be able to find them in the journal, see journalctl(1).
Note that that systemd clears the boot messages by default when it
starts getty, see [2] on how to change that.
