Because startx reads .xinitrc, not .xsession.

Oh, actually 3.6.1 is a bit too old indeed: it would indeed not read the
environment variable since the program itself was launched from some VT.
In more recent versions this was corrected.

Yes, it is correct.
I don't know when Dave will release a 3.7 version, but in the meanwhile,
you may dirty-patch ttybrl.c: replace line
if (brlapi_getTty (VT, BRLCOMMANDS) == -1)
with
if (brlapi_getTty (7, BRLCOMMANDS) == -1)
or even
if (brlapi_getTty (atoi(getenv("CONTROLVT")), BRLCOMMANDS) == -1)
so that it will get the CONTROLVT value (but without checking its
presence).
