Comment(by martin.langhoff):

 After more debugging, with some hints from dsd, the problem narrows down
 to "/etc/init/start-ttys.conf" which starts a tty on vt1 /only on runlevel
 3/, then forgets to tear it down switching to runlevel 5.

 If you would like to start the system without X, without hitting this bug,
 your options are:

  * Edit /etc/init/prefdm.conf, comment out or remove "start on stopped rc
 RUNLEVEL=5". This is the recommended method. You can the "start prefdm".
  * In /etc/init/start-ttys.conf edit "env ACTIVE_CONSOLES=/dev/tty[1-6]"
 to "env ACTIVE_CONSOLES=/dev/tty[2-6]"; then init 3 is usable. It just
 won't have a tty on VT1.
