Its working ok here, but not with those keystrokes. I just did it 
several times.  Its ctl+alt+Fn here, and always has been.

What I did see on VT#1, where the boinc stuff was being spit out 
before I logged in and did a startx, is that I have less then a 
screenfull of history available, and unlike previous kernels, I'm 
getting a very verbose running trail, almost like an strace output, 
of all the kde/kmail activities going on being output to VT#1.  VT#2 
seems normal and I was able to log into it just fine before hitting 
ctl+alt+F7 to come back to X.  Weird to say the least.

But this brings up the question re how do I enlarge the scrollback 
memory of an init-run-level=3 VT?
