Well, well, so it does. Not quite with the same sequence but logging
out from any terminal puts you back to X on tty1 and I can get a freeze
by trying to switch back to a terminal. None of this happens for me if
X is started on any terminal other than tty1.
Systemd handles the terminals so this very much looks like a bug in
that package. Do you intend to report it? I don't see what is special
about tty1.
