No, I didn't. The workaround I found was to force the initialization
vt{2..6}, in a systemd world this is achieved running:

$ cd /etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/
$ for i in {2..6}; do sudo ln -s /lib/systemd/system/getty@.service getty@tty${i}.service;done
$ ls /etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/ -l
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Oct 19 16:40 getty@tty1.service -> /lib/systemd/system/getty@.service
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Oct 27 17:53 getty@tty2.service -> /lib/systemd/system/getty@.service
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Oct 27 17:53 getty@tty3.service -> /lib/systemd/system/getty@.service
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Oct 27 17:53 getty@tty4.service -> /lib/systemd/system/getty@.service
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Oct 27 17:53 getty@tty5.service -> /lib/systemd/system/getty@.service
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Oct 27 17:53 getty@tty6.service -> /lib/systemd/system/getty@.service

This made my problem go away, considering that VTs have a really small
footprint maybe is a good way to make this a default.

Title:
  gdm runs in vt7 and gnome-shell in vt2 after resuming

Status in gdm package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I installed ubuntu-gnome 15.04, then upgraded to Wily. I started
  getting problems when pressing "Alt+<arrow>" it switches to another
  virtual terminal like if I was pressing Ctrl+Alt+F<n>, after some
  troubleshooting these are the steps to reproduce:

  - Logged in a gnome session
  - Suspend laptop
  - Resume
  - Unlock screen
  - Press Alt+Arrow_Right, there you'll notice that gdm is running un VT7 and your user's gnome-shell is running in another VT, in my case VT2
