That would indeed do it; logout leads to the kernel calling vhangup(),  
which maps all file descriptors on the
console/tty to "dead" handlers that return EIO for all operations.  As such  
I don't think this can be considered a
problem with xmonad; higher level desktop systems redirect automatically, a  
lower level window manager such
as xmonad (or any other window manager not operating as part of a desktop  
system) should not be expected to
deal with this.
