And rightly so.

Attached, that file was generated as follows:
1) from within session: ck-list-sessions >> filename
2) still same session: loginctl >> filename
3) 2 times: echo "-----" >> filename
4) logout
5) switch to tty1 (Alt+Ctrl+F1) and log in as regular user
6) ck-list-sessions >> filename
7) loginctl >> filename

I should have added a separator mark between all commands, but the
output seems readable nonetheless. Please correct me if I interpret this
wrong. ck-list-sessions first lists a single session, as does loginctl
(last line before the "-----"). After logging out and entering tty1,
ck-list-sessions shows 2 sessions (1 for gdm and 1 for me on the
console). But loginctl shows 3 lines, it still has that session with id
2 from before logging out of gnome. So it seems I was right about the
gnome session not terminating completely.

Best regards,
Steven
