I have installed Jessie without any tasks. The minimum for a working X on this machine is xserver-xorg-video-nouveau. xserver-xorg-input-evdev, xserver-xorg and xinit. libpam-systemd and dbus are not installed with this arrangement, The behaviour is similar to that on unstable when startx is on tty1 and the user logs in and out of tty2, The one big difference is that X does not shut down when the tty1 screen is displayed. Initially, the mouse and keyboard function but CTRL+ALT+F1 results in them not working. With libpam-systemd and dbus the behaviour is broadly similar. The switching from one terminal to another only appears to occur when X is on tty1. Occasionally it switches to tty1 and back to a login prompt on tty2. Regards, Brian.
