Without knowing the cause of this undefined behaviour, you could be able
to work around it by disabling VT switching via keyboard in the X server.

Create /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-disable-vtswitch.conf with the following
contents:

Section "ServerFlags"
  Option "DontVTSwitch"
EndSection

You can still switch VTs by running 'chvt 1' as root.
