The "blank black screen" is the Linux virtual console, tty5..tty8. OLPC builds probably don't enable a getty on tty5+, thus the screen is blank after switching to them.
These are standard shortcuts on Linux, though at unusual locations on XO keyboards (because the top row is mapped to F-keys). But AFAIK the functionality has been left enabled on purpose.
Since this is a) expected behaviour and b) nothing Sugar could change, I'm closing the ticket as "not a bug". If you think it should be disabled, please file a ticket (login required) at the OLPC bugtracker.
