(Heads-up: This way of starting consoled is just for debugging, I'm working on the login-manager right now)
You need to make sure XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP is set to "systemd-console" before PAM is called. So your snippet should work. However, you then need to login on the VT and either manually run "./systemd-consoled" as your user or run it as your user from a service or X11 or...
A single systemd-consoled instance of a user serves all logins of this user.
Hope that makes sense?
