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).

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. :(

Yes, this is terrible UX. Logging out or in should only apply to one
device.
Or alternately have a "log out on this device/log out everywhere"
option.
Aye, they should be separated. The need to log out everywhere is a special
case, but a potentially important one, as there are instances when users
will want to forcibly log out devices they may not have direct access to
(usually specifically because they don't have direct access to them). It's
the sort of thing we'd want to have a special page/action for, but one
that's not necessarily prominent - while the normal logout would be on
every page, this would only be linked from the preferences, or something.
