It would be worth writing a bug report; I would suggest your distribution as a
starting point.

Whenever I find what seems clearly to be a bug, I report it. Debian, at least,
has a very convenient bug reporting tool - I don't know what your distribution
offers.

That I haven't encountered this bug may be due to the fact that I don't run
gdm; I always log into a user session and start X from there, when desired.
BRLTTY starts quite early in the boot process, so I have full access to the
login prompt.
