Cool, good to know that it's not likely a problem on the client side.

Nope, not yet. Won't have time to poke just now, but if nothing crops up
for others then I'll try this as a test, but it would appear the problem
is server side from your tests (assuming it's a replicable problem) so I
don't expect much difference.

As I mentioned I couldn't see anything in your patches when I had a
quick look either, but I didn't see too many other other logind related
changes in the shortlog at first glance. The problem could easily be in
one of the other commits.
