Yes. You cannot use login on an existing shell/logged in terminal.
login calls vhangup, and thus kills whatever was there before, /or/
fails.

I'm worried that the tests in Debian do not *consistently* fail.
If they were, then I'd say your reproduction case above is
consistent with the CI-ran tests (=> you have the vhangup call).
But given they are not, I think there's another problem still.
