Ok, I rebooted and dug around a bit.

When I boot up, when gdm starts I go to vt1 and see it initially starts on tty7:
$ ps auxww | grep [/]usr/bin/X
root      1329  0.4  0.4 135052 17908 tty7     Ss+  11:19   0:00 /usr/bin/X :0 -nr -verbose -auth /var/run/gdm/auth-for-gdm-hUHdva/database -nolisten tcp vt7
$ sudo lsof -p 1329 | grep tty
Xorg    1329 root    6u   CHR                4,7      0t0       4611 /dev/tty7

If I go to vt7, I see the gdm prompt. When I try to login with gdm, gdm restarts on tty8:
$ ps auxww | grep [/]usr/bin/X
root      3759  4.9  0.8 153928 33828 tty8     Ss+  11:22   0:16 /usr/bin/X :0 -br -verbose -auth /var/run/gdm/auth-for-gdm-eigZMv/database -nolisten tcp
$ sudo lsof -p 3759 | grep tty
Xorg    3759 root    7r   CHR                4,8      0t0       4612 /dev/tty8

If I now go to vt7, I see boot messages like:
* Starting Commun Unix Printing System: cupsd    [OK]

But after all the boot messages, the last thing I see is (leading space intended):
 * Checking battery state...
