Still the case with kernel 3.17.

I have however got an idea: on my box I have the brltty daemon installed
and running (even if I don't have a braille device).  If I remove the
brltty daemon, I don't have the issue.

Among the things that brltty does which might be related, there are:

- it keeps /dev/vcsa open to access the content of the console,
- it keeps /dev/tty0 open to be able to synthesize keypresses with
  ioctl(TIOCSTI) for instance,
- it keeps /dev/console open to be able to emit ioctl(KDMKTONE) for
  instance.
