yup, no additional patches.

I'm pure Debian Stable, so I guess 2.95.

Mainly headless, but I have the exact same behavior when connected to the
monitor. TGX is always in anyway.

Maybe INIT uses kernel stuff that varies between 2.2 and 2.4...
And INIT is fragile. It doesn't like to respawn stuff too often and too
fast. It breaks when respawning virtual consoles when the system is
headless. I had to use a pice of code that checks the presence of the
keyboard and stops respawning the virtual consoles if running headless.
