After some testing and google'ing I found a work-around ...

after exiting X, the console seems to be in a kind of "dpms off - mode";

as root: 
  vbetool dpms off   # (I don't know why, because the VTs seem to be 'off')
    followed by a
  vbetool dpms on
makes the VTs visible again! 
Unfortunately I must run these commands "blindly" or via a remote-login.

Very good so far; I should implement that into my xinit-exit-sequence.

But, I think, the 'set-visible' sequence should be done by that part of
Xorg, that did the 'dpms off'
