Do `showtrans /tmp/console' in that state and you will see one of the arguments is the filename /tmp/console. Basically, /dev/console is being set up right, but is being tickled to turn on in some way, and that's causing the problem. I'm not sure exactly what the Right Thing is here, but I suspect it's going to take inserting an extra reboot.
