I tried reinstalling grub2 (I went back to grub1 for a while, partly because of this problem and partly because grub2's update-grub takes an eternity to probe devices) and now I *can* get to a tty console with ctrl-alt-fX. Maybe the act of uninstalling it and reinstalling it fixed whatever the problem was.
