I noticed this a few months ago on my machines also (running Sid). I don't know if the startx script/sequence is broken, or if the procedure has been changed, but some one a few weeks back mentioned that you can get around the problem by adding the vt number you want. For example, you'd type:
startx -- :1 vt8I hope it's just a bug and not a new method; I know it's been filed as a bug, but I haven't checked on the status lately.
