Thank you for the report. This appears to be a duplicate of Bug#659957 and therefore I am merging the reports. Please review http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=659957 for details and correct this if needed. If you have further information please add it to that ticket. Of course this problem can't be in who because who simply reports the data that is recorded in the utmp file. It is just the messenger of data previously recorded by other means. That file is an accounting of the commings and goings of users. If the "goes in" and "comes out" don't line up then who gets blamed for the incorrect accounting but there isn't anything who can do about it.
