It helps. I don't use Arch.

The distro does actually not matter (ultimately one point about systemd)

In theory. It seems distro personalities typically require some form of deviation.

   sed -i 's/TTYVTDisallocate=yes/TTYVTDisallocate=no/'

I don't think that would have any direct impact on the current issue.

True, but it is related, and also required following each new installation. Two birds, one stone.

In Fedora 19 and Mageia 3, prompts get started on vts 1-6, KDM
goes to vt7, but on vt4, where I login to run startx -- :1, is
where the 2nd X session is found instead of as expected on vt8.

echo $XDG_VTNR
unset it in doubt

Unset it where....?

the interpretation is likely done in /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc

In Mageia 3:
No xserverrc file anywhere in /.
XDG_VTNR # matches vt # where startx was run, or 7 if session started via KDM running prior to startx.

:(

In Fedora 19:
/etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc last written in Feb. 2009 contains no such string XDG or VTNR. XDG_VTNR # matches vt # where startx was run, or 7 if session started via KDM running prior to startx.

:-(

FWIW:
When troubleshooting X I run the script following in Konsole on session start to capture a summary of system and X configuration. I created it originally as a means of self-identifying configuration of fullscreen X session screenshots I commonly attach to bug reports.

# run this in X terminal
