I remeber that some time ago, around XFree 4.0 I also had this issues.

Yes, the same issues, now it almost never dies, and if it dies the consoles work ok (I'm using FB at 1024x768 and Xfree at 1152x864)

When this happened to me I saw garbage from the X screen from the time it died, let's see, X dies, I get dropped to the console (seeing garbage colors of the scren) gdm restarts, everything seems ok, but going back to the console you see the same garbage as before.

I also found that enebling the xv extension in my XFree causes the consoles to be lost, but in a different way.
After enabling it and entering X if I switch to a console I see the console image, but no matter what I do the console stays the same, as you say I can type blindly.

We have too many things in common to stablish a pattern, I'm using XFree 4.2.0, a voodoo 3 2000 pci card, and I also have a smp box, but it's a 2x200mmx.
I think it's a X issue by not leaving the console state consitent.
