I do not know what the explanation is in any detail but here is
something to do which is constructive and instructive:
mv ~/.bash_logout ~/.bash_logout-orig

Yes, without the logout script it works as expected; no tty switching
upon logout.
The ~/.bash_logout files on this machine and my working unstable
machine are identical. clear_console(1) on both tells me the same
thing.
clear_console -q
on the unstable machine always leaves me at a terminal; on this
machine the command almost always puts me into X.
According to the man page, clear_console "changes the foreground virtual
terminal to another terminal and then back to the original terminal."
Apparently it's the switching back that sometimes fails.
