So I guess it has more to do that Kobo wants you to stay logged in, with or without an connection, to be able to use the reader. Or, I don't know what else could have caused the reader to get into registration process efter logging out.
"Logging out" is a very oversimplified misnomer. What that option really does is delete your database on device. It's a great way to clear up problems that might have cropped up from bad data in the database. "Logging out" in this case, is just a side effect of your user ID being wiped out, along with everything else.)
