This isn't a fix, but a possible work-around:  I noted that after switching to 
VT1 (CTRL-ALT-F1) I was able to get the VTs to work by holding down the left 
ALT key & the right-arrow and let the windows cycle past for a bit.  When I 
stopped, I had my VTs back.  That only happened a time, or two, after an 
upgrade, as I recall.

Perhaps someone else will have a better answer. :-)
