I can confirm exactly the described behaviour using r61343, when using 

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091102
Firefox/3.5.5 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

I have a feeling I see this every time, especially when 1) I didn't log out
and 2) try to browse the wiki anonymously on the next day.

If I login I am getting those cookies:

After logout I return to the Monobook anonymously:

(It's 18 Mar 2010 today.)

I don't know *how* to reproduce this reliably. What happens is the follwing:

1) User Saper uses myskin theme
2) I have some customizations in the Special:Mypage/myskin.css
3) When I come back as anonymous, I get a "clean" myskin layout (basically
mediawiki html with no frills) without my customizations (which is
understandable).
4) I have checked cookies and my browser had at the time I got this effect:

wikimania2010db_session
wikimania2010dbUserName
wikimania2010dbUserID

5) Deleting session and dbUserID didn't help. 
6) Deleting dbUserName allowed me to see the default monobook again.
7) I am sure the above setup didn't have "loggedout" cookie

I can achieve the same visual effect manually wherever I delete the Loggedout
cookie manually after the logoff, but that doesn't count as reproducing the
problem.

After I logged out for a second time, I got this set of cookies:

Name    wikimania2010dbLoggedOut

Expires    At End Of Session

so, dbUserID was gone but session was still there (unlike the previous
attempt).

I login again (and I get my customized myskin look of course):

This is getting crazy.... (old LoggedOut and new UserID, UserName, session
cookies?)

I think the problem may be related to the expiration time of the LoggedOut
cookie (it's only 24 hours or something). 

However, I think that the browser carrying "wikimania2010dbUserName"
without a valid authenticated session should influence MediaWiki behavior
at all (except the login form, maybe).
