I'm running 4.0.2 too, and I'm using

:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X vt08

Are you sure that there is no getty running on the ttyE4 screen ?
It should either be not listed in /etc/ttys at all, or with

ttyE4   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         vt220   off secure

But it's strange the thing worked OK with 3.3.3 ...
