Just increase "rings" by one (in mgetty.config) - this isn't really a
bug, it's a workaround for a problem with caller ID reporting on ISDN
modems, which kind of backfired.

Mgetty is a lot more robust concerning unexpected modem responses than
vgetty, which is in the end what leads to the problem you're observing.

(As for the rest of your question: when I find time to answer it)
