You can also fix that by a remote login, chvt, or by just not piping X output into interactive programs. tail -f is a viable workaround -- and all this is off-topic on linux-kernel, it's your own dumbness that makes you do these things. Better run kdm, gdm or xdm or something and you're not having this problem.
