Joshua, sadly your solution does not work for me: I mean, getty is not started at the BEGINNING of runlevel 2, but neither at the end, even with "exec start tty1" in /etc/init.d/rc (I really don't know why). However, I found a better solution: since upstart is event-based, you simply need to tell it to start getty when runlevel 2 has finished loading.
To accomplish this task, edit /etc/event.d/tty1 and replace: start on runlevel 2 with: start on stopped rc2 With trivial modifications, it also works for runlevels other than 2 and for tty's other than 1. Note that those modifications should SOLVE the bug and should't be a workaround.
