Description:
Steps to replicate problem (you need two accounts):

Log in with account #1
Visit Special:Userlogin again but *without logging out first*
Log in with account #2
The site will tell you that you that you have successfully logged in as account #2, but...
[the problem] ...after visiting another page (any page) the interface again says you're account #1 (likewise on other wikis).

Small update: this only seems to happen when acc. #1 is global while #2 is only local.

This bug is extremely annoying.

Apparently, in CentralAuthHooks.php, function onUserLoginComplete the block

		if (!$centralUser->exists() || !$centralUser->isAttached()) {
			return true;
		}

should nuke global session cookies instead of simply returning.
