I'm not even sure it could be called a bug, I don't have anything in my config to tell GDM to specifically start on tty7, so it just grabs the first available one. You aren't restarting X or GDM, but if GDM started on tty8, because tty7 was unavailable for whatever reason, the first you would know about it is when you tried to switch back to it from another tty.
