Yes. I can jump down into virtual terminals from X with Ctrl+Alt-[F1-F6].
The X is running on terminal 7.
I didn't see any /etc/ttys file and the setting in /etc/inittab looks fine.

        Are you able to jump down into a virtual terminal from X?  On debian, I
believe it's Ctrl-Alt-F[1-7].  What do the first couple lines in /etc/ttys
look like?  Maybe one of them is starting xdm on a virtual terminal.
