I believe that the "set console" establishes the listening socket, but the 
actual Telnet transaction doesn't begin until the simulator is running.  If 
you do your "set console" and then "run", you should see:

  Waiting for console Telnet connection

At that point, run your Telnet client, and it should connect OK.

I do not, and I am able to establish console Telnet connections.
