The last time this came up, it was because "stuck a getty on it" really
meant "stuck an mgetty on it" -- and since the line is a terminal, not
a modem (the m in mgetty), zsh and mgetty clashed over the exclusive-open
on the tty device.

Not in the way you describe, but you probably want to change the getty
command line in /etc/inittab to provide the correct terminal type.
