I can confirm this. But this seems to be the normal Errorpage from Joomla! for these cases and it is confusing. But no User is really logged in and any action will bring back to the Loginpage.

One could add a cosmetical

<?php if (!empty($user->id)) : ?>
 <ul class="nav nav-user<?php echo ($this->direction == 'rtl') ? ' pull-left' : ' pull-right'; ?>">
....
 </ul>
<?php endif; ?>

in templates/isis/error.php line 162.

This is a bug and needs fixing. The behaviour should be the same as if the logs file is writeable .

Thanks for reporting it

The bug is just as @hacki65 pointed out, the error page is basically unaware of the user state. Since the Isis error page tries to mimic the base template layout, it has to have additional checks to be aware of user state. The Hathor error page doesn't do this.
