As you said, it is using vt. Unfortunately loading radeonkms didn't
help. It actually seems to be a regression; the only RADEON line
/var/log/Xorg.0.log now is the one that lists all the supported
chipsets. Immediately after that line it ends with

I noticed in the previous log that it said
>>> [ 1292.463] (--) Using syscons driver with X support (version 2.0)
which made me think I had something set up incorrectly, since it's using
vt, not syscons.
