Maybe this will be a useful clue:
In Stretch, any gettys running on vtty[1-6] are actually agettys.
Files in /etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/ are symlinks to:
/lib/systemd/system/getty@service
# ps -A | grep get
1021 tty3 00:00:00 agetty
1022 tty4 00:00:00 agetty
1023 tty2 00:00:00 agetty
1451 tty1 00:00:00 agetty
3932 tty6 00:00:00 agetty
12733 tty5 00:00:00 agetty
Why all this would tie up the serial port I don't know.
Depends on how the serial port is configured. It's pretty standard for
it to be set up as a console, by default, in which case an instance of
getty would be running waiting for a user to login.
