It might not be the intel driver. I'm back home now and have the same spurious switch to the VT with a radeon card. Fully uptodate F16.

Here is what I have on each VT switch in the xorg log.
Comment 4 Dave Airlie 2012-02-03 11:42:36 UTC 
anything in dmesg any sign of an oops?
Comment 5 Xavier Bachelot 2012-02-06 15:42:41 UTC 
I wasn't able to reproduce during the week end on the radeon system. 
However, back in the office on the intel system, I found something in the /var/log/messages. Seems the issue is actually related to systemd, I got a lot of lines like this :
systemd[1]: getty holdoff time over, scheduling restart.

That's probably bug #782087 then.
