Switch to tty1 after login with sddm

Created attachment 868932 [details] lastlog for console after login This is an intermittent problem which I think I've started having with 15.5. I use a plasma/wayland session and about once in 3 cold boots, after entering my credentials in sddm, instead of a graphical desktop I'm shown a console. I normally log in and restart display-manager at that point (haven't tried loginctl yet, but I see the sddm gui still up, albeit ghosted). See attached lastlog snippet.
Not sure what happens here. @Plasma team: Could you investigate? Thanks!
Is there anything in ~/.local/share/sddm/wayland-session.log? I have the suspicion this is a race condition very similar to the issues with autologin (bug 1200436). I'm surprised that tty1 is free according to VT_OPENQRY, there should be a getty fairly early on. Do you use plymouth? If yes, does the issue still appear with "plymouth.enable=0" on the kernel cmdline?
