I suspect that what is going on is:

 - getty starts on tty1
 - X starts on tty1
 - since they're both on the same tty, they both receive the input, but the tty 
is now in RAW input mode so getty receive nonsense and choses to believe a 
Klingon is logging in
 - getty times out the login after a period of inactivity and exits
 - Upstart respawns the tty1 getty
 - the new getty claims ownership of the console
 - X is signalled that it has lost ownership of the console and exits
