There are a few issues there:

* Permission denied happens more often with cursor-only updates than
primary plane updates. And seemingly mostly happens to the login
screen's gnome-shell instance (which is correct if it has since started
the user session). If permission denied on cursor updates is somehow
causing this bug then you might be able to work around it by adding
MUTTER_DEBUG_FORCE_KMS_MODE=simple to /etc/environment and rebooting.

* The VT is changing from 2 to 6 in each log. Are you using Ctrl+Alt+F6
to manually recover?

Title:
  Ubuntu 24.04 sometimes logs in to a black screen if the mouse is moved
  during login

Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in mutter package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I recently upgraded from Ubuntu 22.04 to Ubuntu 24.04. Now whenever I
  log in, sometimes I'll get a blank screen. It will only show the mouse
  cursor as an X.

  The problem seems to be intermittent. So far it's only happened to me
  using X11.

  My current workaround:

  1. Open another terminal (e.g. Ctrl+Alt+F6)
  2. Restart gdm3 (sudo systemctl restart gdm3)

  This seems to be affecting many people, although I couldn't find an
  existing bug: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1514757/issue-with-
  ubuntu-24-04-black-screen-with-cursor-on-login
