I have found a workaround for this problem.

First, I have verified the following through experimentation:
-I cannot get kdm to start on vc/tty8, period. This I do not understand, as I 
have never seen anything running on tty8 (checked with ps aux).
-When logging out a second user, the screen always switches to tty<current>-1, 
regardless where the first user's X display is running.

Given these facts, my workaround is to make the first/original/primary
kdm start on tty9. That means that a second user's display will be
started on tty10, and I have verified that logging off the second user
returns the screen to the first user's display on tty9, as expected.

To use this workaround, change the file /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc as follows,
then restart kdm:

old:
ServerVTs=-7

new:
ServerVTs=-9
