Untill this problem is fixed (I though it was, I need to check the
current status), what you can easily do with Firefox is, once you've
selected "logout", use the "Clear HTTP authentication" feature.

This will reset the authentication cache, so the next time you click
on "login", and the web server request you for credentials, Firefox
will not automatically send the last used credentials to the server
(which is the cause of the "can't authenticate with another login"
issue)

You can find the "Clear HTTP authentication" feature within the
WebDeveloper toolbar, Miscelleanous menu (you can also find this from
the Tools menu, if the toolbar is not visible)

The drawback is that if you're logged on other sites (or you local
proxy) with the same HTTP-based authentication method in other
tabs/windows, you'll need to re-submit the appropriate credentials.
