SUMMARY
***
I tried to change from a Wayland to an X11 session and when logging back into the X11 session, all I got was a black screen.  I was able to drop to TTY, reboot and start in X11.  I logged out of X11 and changed to Wayland.  Got a black screen.  Repeated a couple times, it is consistent.
***

1. login to a plasma session, either X11 or Wayland
2. log out
3. change display server from drop down menu
4. log in to the new session

OBSERVED RESULT
black screen

EXPECTED RESULT
plasma desktop starts up

I can no longer reproduce the issue.  I did get an update today- plasma-desktop 5.27.1-2.  Maybe that fixed it?

Ok, great news! Let's say it did.

Feel free to re-open this bug report if you see the issue again, though.
