I had this same problem after a reboot a few weeks ago (I'm using
sid). It turns out that GDM was starting up fast enough that the
gettys weren't yet started, so it was trying to start on vcs2.
the solution was to specify the vc in the servers section of
/etc/gdm/gdm.conf.
Here's my maintainance log entry:

After reboot keyboard not responding in X. sudo fuser -v
/dev/tty? shows xfree trying to use tty2 at same time as
fbgetty. Added vt7 to server line in /etc/gdm.conf:
