vt(4) and geli(8)

The new vt system console looks really nice.  But on hosts that have geli 
encrypted devices that prompt for the passphrase at boot, no keyboard 
input reaches geli.  The keyboard doesn't appear to be dead, as the 
caps-lock and num-lock keys toggle; geli just doesn't receive any input. 
This is on 10-STABLE amd64 built from yesterday's sources. 
"hw.vga.textmode=1" doesn't make any difference.

Has anyone else encountered this?
