It makes an attempt to do so, but there are lots of reasons it wouldn't. It is explicity wrong to wait for a response to complete the work required on the SP side when that SP initiates the logout. ADFS has the same bug, FWIW (actually a more serious variant where its logout is contingent on getting only total success back from the IdP, which is impossible since partial success is a valid and virtually certain result).
