And what about consecutive 8ves between bass and tenor in a I-vi 6/3 progression?

I can think of quite a few instance where JS Bach, amongst others, does this. It's not that unusual as it can just be the best solution in certain situations.rbarata wrote:Apparently this is admissible if the voices keep the same tones from one chord to the other.
Sometimes that Tenor note will actually be one held note across the two chords....a minim against 2 crotchets in the bass.

I would say that the word 'consecutive' produces in your mind a problem that is never a problem. I prefer 'parallel octaves/fifths', which doesn't do that, to be parallel it has to be a line.
