No, I'm not confusing any of this with boot/reboot. I just tried logging out/in to verify. I logged out of my main account, selected the test account, and automatically was logged in (no password required). I logged out of the test account, selected the main account, and was automatically logged in (no password required).

Maybe the anomaly arises from the fact that I have enabled Automatic Login on both accounts?
