Ugh, i just realized my problem. This is embarrassing. It was signing into the guest account that made me realize it, because the logout button showed up there (unity --reset made no difference).
My logout button was simply disabled in settings. Unfortunately I cannot tell exactly where the setting was because I used the UbuntuTweak program, which obviously adds a layer of abstraction from where the settings really are configured. To be honest, I have no idea why it was disabled in the first place though, I doubt I would have disabled it myself (although never say never). It also probably does not explain the original bug reporter's problem either (or at least it's not likely that everyone who commented on this bug also was using UbuntuTweak and had this setting coincidentally messed up like me). Does the system disable it by default during installation if there is only one account configured? Anyway, my issues are solved. Thanks a lot and sorry if this whole bug turns out to be a bit of a waste of time (I write code too, I've had my time wasted too. In my defense I am not the original reporter, although I totally did give it a bit of a poke ;).
