Nope. /proc/ is a virtual file-system that has a directory per process, so /proc/2950 and /proc/2951 give information about different processes. My guess is that process 2950 is very short-lived, so consolekit notices it, and then when it goes to find the information about the process it has already exited, so the directory no longer exists. If that is the case then it would make this bug "Invalid" I guess, but it would be good to confirm that it is indeed the case.
