Apparently Orca doesn't notice the VT change. How is X started? Could
you check that the value reported by

xprop -root | grep XFree86_VT

is properly updated?  Could you also check whether the WINDOWPATH
environment variable received by Orca is also properly updated?

I believe the issue is neither in BRLTTY or Orca, but in the invoker of
the X terminal, which doesn't properly set the session.

Please check the differing version of gdm/xdm/etc. that spawns the X
server.
