Correct. 4,0 is "current virtual console", not /dev/console.

Here is the definitive information:

 5 char        Alternate TTY devices
                  0 = /dev/tty          Current TTY device
                  1 = /dev/console      System console
                  2 = /dev/ptmx         PTY master multiplex
