But, that is as it should be:

  When you log in, AUTHENTICATED_USER should show that you
  have logged in, i.e. the name in the cookie!

You will not see in the REQUEST object whether or not your
browser has sent authentication information (and therefore, CookieCrumber
will not be able to log you out). You can see it with
e.g. TCPWatch or another TCP logger.
