Bug#534944: grub-pc: text mode virtual terminals blank after graphical login screen appears

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.96+20090628-1
Severity: normal
After installing this version of grub-pc, startup appears normal, but once I
get to the graphical login screen, using control-alt-F1 .. control-alt-F6
results in blank login screens (I've been able to log into them blind).
Hitting control-alt-F7 returns me successfully to the graphical session.
I've also had dosemu in the graphical session fail to remap drives (lredir)
when using this version of grub.
Reverting to a two-week old SVN build of GRUB2 fixes these problems.
