User switching between different users on X is broken.
It's not just broken for me, everyone I have asked has experienced the
same problem:
Clicking "Switch user" will often or sometimes lead to a hung screen.
The switcher doesn't show the correct virtual terminal. Killing the
switcher with ctrl+alt+backspace is one solution, the alternative is
manually switching virtual consoles.
Reporting this on Bugzilla doesn't help.
Mentioning it here hasn't helped.
The bug does exist, but everyone knows how to workaround it. Everyone
who doesn't know how to workaround it doesn't use Bugzilla? Abrtd isn't
catching this because it isn't a crash?
What does the list recommend?

What do you mean by 'doesn't help', exactly?

It's probably broked due to the CK removal work, and hence I am
responsible for breaking this. I presume you are speaking of
gnome-shell?
it's the first time I hear of this, what's the bugzilla id?

I had the exact same experience. my wife and I switch a lot. I changed
from nouveau to nvidia and my problem _mostly_ went away. Its only happened
to me once since, so I assumed that was the problem/fix. Unfortunately,
I've trained the wife on the ctrl+alt+bksp so now I don't know how often
she has the issue.
Release: I had the issue on f16 (I skipped 15, so can not speak to that)

the bug I found was: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=739361
but i don't know if that is the one OP was referring to.
