Chad, Madhava and I met with Mark Hammond and Tim to talk this through
yesterday. Our conclusions were:

a) We should add explanatory prompts on log-out, and on
second-log-in-with-different-ID
b) no changes to UI flow otherwise (leave "Sign in to Firefox" menu
panel item, which we had discussed removing or renaming)

Rationale:

a) mitigates the problem raised here "enough" and is simple.

We think b) would not significantly affect user behavior in this
regard (i.e. reduce the likelihood that someone expects to be able to
sign in/out) to offset the complications it would cause with our
existing interaction design (it would result in no good place to put
the doorhanger, limited exposure of sync setup in some cases, etc.)
and it would be odd to need to rename that item later on once we have
more extensive non-Sync "Firefox Account" options, like complete
profile switching support (like Chrome).

These conclusions are documented here:
