It's very much changed since Halflife with steam, as to whether it's a VGUI window perhaps you're correct that it isn't, it has a title bar now, and floats inside the Halflife window..
Anyhow, since condump doesn't work correctly in steam (it creates the condump files, and claims to have dumped it's contents to them, but they're all empty .txt files), I assumed that's what the original poster meant ;).
Just checked in a hex editor (trying to see why they weren't 0 byte files), it appears to have written a whole pile of 0x20 (space) characters but precious little else, with some 0x0D 0x0A's thrown in for good measure.
Guessing that's a bug, or a known issue that's being worked on ;).

I wouldn't think that the console would be a VGUI type window, VGUI wasn't released until like, HL 1.1.0.8 or something around there. The console has been in HL forever, and hasn't changed (that I've noticed). I'd go with omega's first suggestion that's it a buffer of strings rendered to the screen when needed.

We can use that term from this point forward whenever someone does that ;) I wanted to reply again but then I was like .. no.. come on, someone else post.. I don't want to have 4 emails from me on the same subject in a row!

Err, pulling an 'omega' here :p.
The other VGUI Surfaces do in fact have HWND's like friends, servers, etc, so it's possible the console does have one.. maybe.
You can't enumerate child windows of the mod window, because it seems to have none, in fact all the VGUI Surfaces I see are not 'parented' by anything in Spy++'s view at least.
You could try looking for all of the 'Surface' Windows with FindWindow(); instead, but I'm not sure how simple it is to get the text of every 'Surface' that has "" for a window name parameter...
Sounds kind of dodgy to me anyhow.
