Still looking into this, but it seems kinda complex. Downgrading glibc
on my test VM didn't fix the issues. I thought sssd might be the
culprit, but downgrading that didn't help either.

It seems like the console login bug at least doesn't happen with a
minimal package install:
https://openqa.fedoraproject.org/tests/737305
passed, including console login as user and root, and I verified that
it used the packages from the 1208.n.0 compose. But it seems to
reliably happen on Server, Workstation and KDE installs. So it's
apparently caused by something present in those installs but not in
minimal...

Still looking into this, my advice for now is still not to upgrade past
the 1207.n.0 package state until it's figured out :)
