It is possible to get the Log Console view to open, without drawing the contents of the view. 1) From new Eclipse install, create a new External Tool using Run->External Tools->Configure. Make sure to check the option "Show execution log on console". 2) Run the external tool. This will open the Log Cosole view in the default location. 3) Move the log console view so that it is on top of some other view. I can reproduce the behaviour with the Tasks view and the Navigator view. 4) Close the Log Console View. 5) Re-run the external tool. The log console view tries to open where it was put, but the contents of the view will not be drawn. If you don't see the expected behaviour, repeat steps 4) and 5) a few times. Try moving the Log Console over top of other views (I could not reproduce the behaviour over the Outline view for example). Running F1.

Sounds like a reproduceable case of the one I saw with you last week.
*** Bug 17148 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
The StyleRanges used by the LogConsoleDocument to keep track of the colors of output to the console hold on to Colors which are disposed when the last open LogConsoleView is closed. When a new LogConsoleView is opened, it tries to draw using these disposed colors.
Color management has been updated to not dispose of colors until not needed anymore. Fix in build > 2002-05-29
