:: Do you also have at least one /sbin/getty implementation installed?
Yes, it appears to be a symlink however. maybe does not matter:
$ dir /sbin/getty
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 May 25 2015 /sbin/getty -> agetty
$ dir /sbin/agetty
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 39792 May 25 2015 /sbin/agetty

This appears to function correctly also.

I ran this in xfce4-terminal from the desktop. It blinked out the video
signal then returned to the desktop. I'm assuming this should be run
from rc.local or something similar when in a true textmode environment?

Have rebooted, still no luck :/
RE: Rainer Wikusat:
:: You aren't per chance running a display manager on tty1..
I don't know how to tell. When I reboot, Slim comes up on the screen and
I login.
tty output (from xfce4-terminal):
$ tty
/dev/pts/10
