It should be an aarch64 QEMU VM, I'm also seeing that behaviour there. 
Long story short, there is an ACPI Serial Port Console Redirection table 
specifying a serial console, Linux registers it as a preferred console 
very early (as a boot console first), and later when VT tries to 
register itself as a less-than-preferred console that request is ignored 
since there is already a preferred one already registered. There's 
nothing wrong with the framebuffer or tty0 at all.
