Aivils Stoss has a work-around for this problem: install faketty and use its VT's on seat 2:
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Multiseat_Configuration/faketty

Except the version attached of faketty has to be used.

compile and install faketty
install xserver-xorg-input-kbd
modify xorg.conf for seat2 to use driver=kbd
modify gdm.conf for seat 2 to say: command=/usr/bin/X0 :1 -layout X0 -dpi 110 -isolateDevice PCI:0:8:0 vt51

Note the 'vt51' in step 4.

Result: problem goes away. Thanks Aivils!
