IDP 2.4 finding session that should not exist

Our IDP v 2.4.0 is set to use CAS as RemoteUser authentication Handler.  So, normally every authnRequest results in a redirect to our CAS server for a new ST.  But, we have one Relying Party that after logout is done goes back to a landing page that attempts to authenticate again.  When it does our IDP is sending a response back without ever redirecting to our IDP. Logs show that the session had ended, but it somehow identified the user without redirecting to CAS:

08:48:06.878 - DEBUG [edu.internet2.middleware.shibboleth.idp.authn.provider.RemoteUserAuthServlet:73] - Remote user identified as jdunn returning control back to authentication engine

Can anyone suggest how it is determining a user without engaging the authentication handler?

(and yes we are in the process of upgrading our old 2.4.0 IDP)
