Ok, what you're describing is the expected behaviour then.
Note the following from the telinit manpage (init invoked from user
space execs telinit):
The RUNLEVEL argument should be [...] 1 to bring the system
down into single-user mode.
RUNLEVEL may also be S or s which will place the system directly into
single-user mode without actually stopping processes first, you proba‐
bly won’t want that.
If you run "telinit 1" instead, X will be killed as part of the switch,
and then you'll be at a root console.
