I was hoping someone would say "Oh, that's caused by _______", but you
know that never really happens :)
I think they all show up sleeping, but of course I haven't been able to
replicate it today.
I also caught bonobo-activation-server doing this, and I did confirm
that it was in state sleeping.
I just discovered that gdm wasn't registering with utmp, so users
weren't shown as logged in. Don't know if it's related, but I'll see if
it still happens when some students get here.
I'll try to collect more info.

Nope, don't see anything fishy in the logs either.
