Well, i would start suspecting
about the browsers' policy about cookies.
Another symptom is
that mostly the main page seemed to suffer from that, and they'd get
logged in magically by viewing a new page. The problem is
browser-independent. Only de.wikipedia seems to be affected.
I can confirm that, i have seen it on es.wikipedia. (the main page is
called Portada). Showing unlogged at
http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portada but logged with
http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portada?foo So it's certainly a caching
problem, the query not arriving to the apaches. Maybe it only happens if
it's no longer at the cache?
Ok, playing with it i have been able to reproduce it by removing the
eswiki_session cookie. Though i still having eswikiUserID,
eswikiUserName and eswikiToken, thus technically logged in, seems that
without the session i'm not being recognised as such.

too. I have no cookie
policy problem, because other sites work just fine. In the past (last
year) I faced no such problem, but now I am too facing this problem
