I noticed this as well... xterms don't seem to show up.

Wow!  I get a message that references "/dev//2", but this only started
happening after I messed with my kernel and libkvm in order to incorporate
the vm86 mods needed to work on doscmd.  The reference should be to
"/dev/fd/2 or 3", but something is getting hosed there.  I haven't figured
out how to fix it.  But your happens with a generic 2.2 kernel?  Or did you
build a custom kernel?

Not for me... once I log in via X, all my subsequent entries get screwed up.

I have no idea... but I feel a little better knowing that I am not the only
one seeing this sort of behavior... it's time for a bug report.
