This looks like a circular import problem in contrib.auth.admin.
From the traceback, importing ''User'' imports ''admin'' which imports ''UserCreationForm'' which imports ''User'' again.  
Oddly, I haven't experienced this error using the development server, but only when running under mod_python.  Also, the problem is somewhat intermittent in that sometimes the logout completes without a problem, but most of the time triggers the import error.

I've attached a patch which avoids the problem by moving the import of UserCreationForm from the top level into the add_view method."		closed	Contrib apps	newforms-admin		fixed	auth importerror logout nfa-blocker	post@…	Accepted	1	0	0	1	0	0
