That's odd, and I don't think I could suggest anything to help.
As for a workaround, my own approach would be to type Alt → (or
Windows ←, or whatever) six times rapidly before logging in.
It takes two seconds and while you're logging in, the other
VCs would be starting up.

As for your workaround, is there any reason for avoiding absolute
paths when making links, ie wouldn't this do the same thing?

#!/bin/sh
 cd /etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants
 cp -a /lib/systemd/system/getty@.service /lib/systemd/system/getty@tty1.service
 sed -i 's/TTYVTDisallocate=yes/TTYVTDisallocate=no/' /lib/systemd/system/getty@tty1.service
 ln -sf /lib/systemd/system/getty@tty1.service ./getty@tty1.service
 systemctl start getty@tty1.service
 ln -sf /lib/systemd/system/getty@.service ./getty@tty2.service
 systemctl start getty@tty2.service
 ln -sf /lib/systemd/system/getty@.service ./getty@tty3.service
 systemctl start getty@tty3.service
 ln -sf /lib/systemd/system/getty@.service ./getty@tty4.service
 systemctl start getty@tty4.service
 ln -sf /lib/systemd/system/getty@.service ./getty@tty5.service
 systemctl start getty@tty5.service
 ln -sf /lib/systemd/system/getty@.service ./getty@tty6.service
 systemctl start getty@tty6.service

Cheers,
David.
