I've actually found this to be a rather big pet peeve of mine w/ CentralAuth over the years. It would seem that logging out in CentralAuth means deleting everything in the cache with the user's info in it.
I'd prefer that we did Google's system that, in addition to allowing a separate "sign out all other sessions" option, also allows users to monitor which IP addresses their account was accessed from (which however would be akin to self CheckUser and might run afoul of our privacy policy).
