Florian Schulze confirmed it was happening to him too... and likely the reason you see it in Zope is because Zope allows you to mix different authentication schemes (basic auth vs. cookies) based on what URL you're accessing. God only knows why Limi doesn't see it. ;-) Maybe it's because Plone replaces the root user folder? (which reminds me, dammit, I should have written that as a weakness on the PSPS board... ;-) )
The real weakness...

is not so much replacing the root user folder: you can argue that forcing the root
to have a PAS is a net win: rather, it is Plone's unnecessary shadowing / overriding
of stuff from the root user folder (acl_users for one, error_log for another).
I *know* why they do it ("seamless' experience", or some such excuse) but there is
no good reason to have more than one of either of those two objects in a "normal"
site: "one user folder to rule them all" should be the default.
