I think this may actually be an X server bug. 2.6.34 introduced some
new features that X drivers take advantage of, but there was some
bugginess in the X server's handling of client block and unblock,
leading to hangs at VT switch time.

This could be related to some upstream bugs in the X server
(bugs.freedesktop.org):
28998
28365
27035

Can you check those out and see if they're relevant? 27035 and 28998 in
particular fixed VT switch problems for me.
