There's a sort of technical argument to be made that this is covered by

That says "Shutting down, logging out and rebooting must work using
standard console commands and the mechanisms offered (if any) by all
release-blocking desktops", with a footnote "Logging out must return
the user to the environment from which they logged in, working as
expected." Arguably the environment from which they logged in is not
"working as expected" if you can't then log in as someone else.

However, the existing basic criterion [1] only requires the *initially* created user to be able to log in. So if you create a second user, and can't log in with it after a system boot, that would not be covered by neither the basic one nor the one you just quoted. It would be covered by the proposed change I made, though. I think it's a good idea to have a clear "logging is must work" criterion somewhere.

Adding a more explicit requirement wouldn't hurt, though, I guess. I
sort of feel like it would be nice to somehow combine and rationalize
all these related requirements somehow...

I'm not sure what exactly you have on mind. How would you like to improve it? By having log in/out + shutdown + reboot in the same criterion, it seems quite "combined".
