'who' reports the contents of utmp file. If the session is not closed out then 'who' will show the data from the opened session. I can't guess why the utmp has old data in it. That is really more of a problem for other utilities in the operating system. There have been reports that who has a bug and is reporting more than it should. But so far no one has tracked that down yet. If you do then please post reports and patches.
