Is it time to revisit this behaviour? It's come up as being a usability problem a few times now.
Currently if I log out of a public computer it logs me out of my tablet device,mobile device and home computer. :(
See bug for reference [1]
Yes, this is terrible UX. Logging out or in should only apply to one device.

We shouldn't be designing features for edge cases!
Logout was discussed recently on the QA list [0]. The discussion lead to Jon Robson pointing out bug 49890 [1] where Chris Steipp stated that logout is global.
