Public bug reported:

1. Lock screen (ctrl-alt-l)
2. Click 'switch user'
3. Enter password to return to session
4. The greeter disappears as if the session is being restored, then it returns

At 4, I should be logged in to my session.

I switched vt manually (ctrl-alt-f7) to get back in. In my lightdm log,
these lines:

[+5871.21s] DEBUG: Activating VT 8
[+5871.21s] WARNING: Error using VT_ACTIVATE 8 on /dev/console: Inappropriate 
ioctl for device

were when I was trying from step 1 again to see if this bug was
reproducible. It would not switch back to the greeter vt (vt8). I was
just left on gnome-screensaver.
