There was no reason X shouldn't start, and no logged errors, so I
just ran
"telinit 3; telinit 5". This time the normal "Stopping/Starting"
messages
appeared, but prefdm was not started--no desktop.
I bailed and rebooted.
Normal level shifting (i.e. without the "exit") seems to work fine, so I
don't think it's actually a bug, but I'd like to understand why the exit
borks the level shift, and see if anyone has a suggestion for another way
to re-start level 5 and log out in one shot.

I just tried this and it works for me - 'telinit 5 ; exit' works fine.
