I noticed this today, and thought I would do a trial to test it, see if
I too have the error.  I'm running F14 x86_64, fully updated to
updates-testing as of today.

I boot into runlevel 5, login to Gnome as a user.
Switch to a console (4, if that matters) (*not* an xterm), login as
root.
Run telinit 1 and the system switches to runlevel 1
Run telinit 5 and the system switches to runlevel 5
Run telinit 3 and the system switches to runlevel 3
Run telinit 5 and the system switches to runlevel 5

The error must have some dependency on the hardware you are
running, or I have a software combination that negates it.
