Still no progress on finding out why this is occurring.  Some speculation:
- ConsoleKit is intercepting the VT switch and stopping it working. GDM uses ConsoleKit to do the VT switching but this is not easy to do in LightDM with the current architecture (it doesn't assume that CK is available, it switches before the session is started).
- The X server is not correctly getting the frambuffer when the VT switch occurs - unlikely as it's not occurring with GDM, but could be a timing issue.

Need some Kernel/ConsoleKit/X experience to find where what stage of the
VT switch is failing.

Bug description:
  Steps:
  1. Have a multi-user system
  2. Start up and log in as a user
  3. Use the Use Menu to switch to another user
  4. You will be at the Unity Greeter, log in as the second user
  5. The second user session will load
  6. Choose Log Out from the power/setting menu
  7. You will be at the Unity Greeter
  8. select and enter the password for the logged in user

  Result:
  The screen turns black and shows a blinking cursor
  Manually switching to VT7 shows the first user session, and works fine

  Expected:
  Automatically returned to VT7 after entering the password for the first user
