Matthias said above, "...the login logs are rather unimportant on single-user desktop systems,...".
This is not entirely correct. Those who still use acpi-support for their machines depend on logins being properly logged in utmp/wtmp. If /usr/bin/who does not report the logged in user, then /usr/share/acpi-support/power-funcs will fail, and then so will everything else depending on it, for example /etc/acpi/asus-touchpad.sh (for starters).
Fixing this bug will probably fix some hardware issues for a few folks out there, aside from myself.
