I'm using the complete GNOME Shell set + systemd and just -Syu'd as usual, receiving the whole bunch of upgrades including 3.6 today.
Upon reboot, the GUI starts from tty1 instead of the usual tty7 (the mouse cursor popped out first while the systemd boot messages were still there), then the GDM login screen.
Enter the password and login, then the desktop actually shows up only for just a split-second, disappears by itself, then the wallpaper fades out as well, back to the boot message screen (with the cursor again), then login screen comes up again, loop.
What could've gone wrong? In the beginning I guessed it was due to the repos haven't finishing pushing the complete package sets, but after about 10 hours I -Syu'd again only to receive gpm, gconf, gconf-editor, and they refused to be upgraded prompting me errors about signatures etc. Are they relevant?

I believe the move from tty7 to tty1 was intentional (to stay in line with upstream). Don't know about your main problem though (as I don't use GNOME).

I am also experiencing this issue on an up to date system, starting GNOME through SLIM works just fine have you found any solution?
EDIT:
In my case I managed to solve it by commenting out
export XAUTHORITY=/home/non-root-usersname/.Xauthority
in /etc/profile
I also uninstalled xorg-xhost and deleted ~/.Xauthority, one of these solved my problem and can now login normaly throught GDM
