I'm used to entering the URL https://<host>/wiki/Special:UserLogin to login with a different username. It would warn "You are already logged in as S Page (WMF). Use the form below to log in as another user." and let me do just that.
However, now when I do this on beta labs when I'm already logged in, I get a 302 redirect and then Internal error exception from http://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:CentralLogin/complete?token=921d7ed90f5b780db73c89673f1bb6d6 "The user account logged into does not exist." The full display is below.
The workaround is to click Log out or visit Special:Logout, then log in.
As I recall, visiting Special:UserLogin while logged in on mediawiki.org a week or so ago would just redirect me to the main page (not ideal but better than an exception); but now I'm getting the same Internal error exception except the production cluster truncates it to a pink "[7ed77f38] 2014-08-21 08:02:15: Fatal exception of type MWException".
Below is the full error display on beta labs:
