That's odd, and I don't think I could suggest anything to help.
As for a workaround, my own approach would be to type Alt → (or
Windows ←, or whatever) six times rapidly before logging in.
It takes two seconds and while you're logging in, the other
VCs would be starting up.
As for your workaround, is there any reason for avoiding absolute
paths when making links, ie wouldn't this do the same thing?
#!/bin/sh
cd /etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants
cp -a /lib/systemd/system/getty@.service /lib/systemd/system/getty@tty1.service
sed -i 's/TTYVTDisallocate=yes/TTYVTDisallocate=no/' /lib/systemd/system/getty@tty1.service
ln -sf /lib/systemd/system/getty@tty1.service ./getty@tty1.service
systemctl start getty@tty1.service
ln -sf /lib/systemd/system/getty@.service ./getty@tty2.service
systemctl start getty@tty2.service
ln -sf /lib/systemd/system/getty@.service ./getty@tty3.service
systemctl start getty@tty3.service
ln -sf /lib/systemd/system/getty@.service ./getty@tty4.service
systemctl start getty@tty4.service
ln -sf /lib/systemd/system/getty@.service ./getty@tty5.service
systemctl start getty@tty5.service
ln -sf /lib/systemd/system/getty@.service ./getty@tty6.service
systemctl start getty@tty6.service
Cheers,
David.
