Sorry to have bothered you. As it turned out, it was all my fault.
There was a file "fglrx-driver.conf" in /etc/modprobe.d, containing the
line
blacklist radeon
That prevented the radeon module from being loaded before X, resulting
in the reported weird behavior. The "fglrx-driver.conf" was probably
left over from my earlier attempt at installing the fglrx driver. Now,
after having purged the file, the radeon module gets loaded in time and
everything works without a glitch: user switching, VT switching and all.
Sorry for the noise. Will think twice the next time before I file a bug
report. Please close this bug and thanks for your valuable time!
