Your guess is correct, base-config has this code in /usr/lib/menu/finish.d
<snip>
if [-f /etc/inittab.real ]; then
mv -f /etc/inittab.real /etc/inittab
telinit -q >/dev/null
# Clear the screen, in preparation for the login prompt
clear
fi
</snip>
The obvious question is: is the inittab.real valid?
Another file to check would be /etc/securetty
Cheers,
