It is supported to work. If the X-Server does crazy things with the video board, it _must_ reverse these on exit and console switches. It works with the text console, why it should'nt work with fbcon too?
It does'nt work (some versions of??) AccelX, becauce it _allways_ switches back to 80x25 text mode.
There are some boards where you can't read the current state (completely). With these the X-Server of cource has bad/no chances to restore things correctly. Blame your hardware. With such hardware you probably have the same problem if you try to switch between two X-Servers or between X and svgalib.
