I have run into this problem but only after having done a suspend
previously since the last boot. It happens quite consistently if I
suspend twice between boots. (The process of suspending forces you out
of X before suspending to avoid another lockup.)
Also, in spite of civilme's experience, as long as I stay away from
suspending, I do ctnl-alt-F2 / do stuff / alt-F7 all the time without
problems.
I would stay away from ctnl-alt-F1, though. That's that console that
psuedo-lanched the X session in the first place.
