Here is some further information. Yesterday, I ran dist-upgrade on this machine. It pulled in updates in jessie for systemd-shim, among others.
Look at this: $ ps auxww | grep -i logind root 1792 0.0 0.0 28388 2912 ? S Nov21 0:00 /lib/systemd/systemd-logind root 5625 0.0 0.0 28388 3016 ?

I am going to reboot shortly and see if I can gather some more information on whether they go away properly now.
