Have you encountered anything you cannot do while logged out? It may just be that your password levels are set up to be too lenient at the operator level. Try touching up a point or adding/deleting a line while in the logged out state. If there is anything you can't do, then it would appear to be working.
I have never had any interaction with User 1 vs User 2. That is very strange. If i find anything, i will report back here.
