You may want to check your /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/GiveConsole and
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/TakeConsole scripts.

They should contain proper session register/unregister commands; e.g.

  sessreg -a -l console -x /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers $USER

for GiveConsole and

  if [ -n "$USER" ]; then
    sessreg -d -l console -x /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers $USER
  fi

for TakeConsole
