I don't have fbcon loaded, I'm using vgacon. 

I'll try adding a printk on the radeonfb blank call and see if I am getting one
on VT swap.

The special blank call is probably what is failing. It's the primary card that
is transitioning from gfx->text, not the secondary radeonfb card. Telling the
secondary card it is transitioning when it really isn't will probably mess it up.
