As per my research, I have identified several conclusions:

1. This issue is reproducing in both Firefox and Chrome, desktop and mobile
2. The logout request is an asynchronous background request to wikipedia server. It is triggered when the user taps on logout and before the prompt is displayed on the screen(stay/leave). The logout request invalidates the session on the server side and this is the reason why when opening a new tab and navigating to wikipedia, the user is logged out.

Since this reproduces on multiple desktop browsers , this is not an issue on the browser itself. The website is responsible for it.

Considering this I would suggest we could move the ticket/issue on the Desktop side.

Tom, could you please let me know if this(comment 2) approach looks good to you. Thank you!

Thanks Andrei. If this is website behaviour, not browser, then I think we can close this off. Video demos of the issue being observed across multiple different browsers would also be very helpful.
