I find the chvt command must be run as root to get it to
switch to another VT, otherwise I get the same message.

Ok, I still can't switch with other window managers. I didn't try
zapping yet, though.

I ran into this problem with two different chips in the past, and on both occasions, the X driver was the guilty party.

NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-256.35.run

Is this driver that buggy?
