Correct, I forgot that one.

Thank you for the report!

You're welcome :)

This is expected unfortunately: our console driver (syscons) doesn't
support the new kernel video drivers. This means that once X.Org is
started, it's not possible to switch to the console, or have a console
back when closing the X session.

This problem is fixed in HEAD (11-CURRENT) if you use the new console
driver (vt(9), previously referred to as "Newcons").

About errors in dmesg(8), I answer below:

Those errors are unexpected. Could you please try with Ubuntu 13.04 live
CD, and check if the same errors occur?
