Analysis with Robert: - currently lightdm tries to start on the active VT. It shouldn't do this; if plymouth is running it should use the active VT (after proper hand-off), otherwise it should take the next available - /etc/init/plymouth-stop.conf doesn't special-case lightdm currently, so plymouth is *never* running when lightdm starts - so we never get the hand off. As a result, we always have a race condition between the VT switch on plymouth exit, and the lightdm start-up.
