You can reproduce the error with `xinit -- vt7` or `chvt 7`. As Arne suggested [1], you should use nodm ATM: the latter starts X11 on vt4, which is the last tty available as character device. This is a known problem and nodm should be adjusted to the default in Debian, i.e. it should check for the first unused vt starting from the seventh one [2]. Thus, this bug is both a reminder and a note for other people who experiences the same problem.
