I can confirm this. Something gets confused about vt's.
In the sequence above,
user A first gets vt7, user B gets vt9,
then the attempt to switch to user A again from B's session
brings up a greeter on vt10,
but the user switcher switches somewhere else (vt7 ?)
That quite likely is related to
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=194558
which still sits as NEW. This can be quite confusing at
some moments. You may try to search for "lost" sessions
with 'pgrep -f -l gdm' from a console and peek in an output
which vts are in use in the given moment. Hopefuly not
something you cannot reach anymore.
