There appears to be some utmp corruption and login isn't checking for
it. login-1.0.5 should fix this (it just checks if the entry is stale;
there's still a race condition somewhere corrupting it).
You can get this package off master.debian.org in /debian/Incoming. I
will do a dinstall run later today so if it's not there, look in
/debian/unstable/binary/base. Or wait a day or 2 for it to hit your
mirror.
Temporarily you can fix the problem by starting an xterm and killing it.
That will clear out the dud utmp entry.
