I confirm your analysis of this bug.  I also concur with Seb's
recommendation that you forward this bug upstream to the Debian
maintainer.  The mingetty package is a seldom-used package in Ubuntu
universe which is currently in sync with Debian, it doesn't seem to make
sense to carry a delta in Ubuntu for this issue.

Please use 'reportbug -B debian mingetty' to forward this bug report to
the maintainer.

Title:
  can not invoked in shell

Status in mingetty package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Package: mingetty
  Version: 1.08-2
  Severity: normal

  The program works fine if it is invoked by init the default way.  But it exits with error when it is invoked by user's command line.
  I digged a little and found out it is the call to ioctl(fd,TIOCSCTTY,1) in open_tty(). 
  This bug was confirmed as #51756 and fixed in debian  bug track system. However, the added 'setsid()'  no longer exsists in 1.08-2 version.
