No conflicts here either, fwiw - not with this scenario. I run into it as a matter of course; my .profile/.login enable the mouse if I'm on ttyv* (cut/paste is too useful, and now that the mouse cursor disappears automatically, it isn't at all intrusive). I run X often without first disabling the console mouse. I had assumed by "in the virtual terminal that was later used to run X" meant the actual vt that X runs on (presumably after it had been disabled), rather than the one from which it was started. I can see how that might cause conflicts since it would relate vt switching.
