GDM: (F17, all updates) When I try to log in, login fails and I get switched to a different VT

Anybody else seeing this?

Details:

I am running F17 x86_64 with all updates from updates-testing.

I can't log in. When I click my name in gdm and enter my password, the 
display immediately switches to a different (text) VT, and when I switch 
back to the GDM VT, it's back at the login screen.

I can't find anything in /var/log/messages, dmesg output, 
~/.xsession-errors, or /var/log/Xorg.0.log to explain this.

I have auto-login configured, and if I reboot my machine, I _am_ logged 
in successfully. It's only when I log out and log back in again that the 
login fails.

I first noticed this last night after a yum update, but I don't know for 
certain that it was last night's update that caused the problem, since I 
usually auto-login so I can't say for certain when the last time I tried 
to log in manually was.

Just in case it's relevant, here's what updated last night:
