Interesting question. The RP is normally only concerned about the
sign-in state of users in relation to itself. Change of state in
relation to other RPs should be of no concern, and if such information
is somehow leaked, that might also become a privacy issue.

My suggestion is to stick to the assumed contract between RP and OP. If
a user gets effectively logged out for the concerned RP, regardless of
how that came about, always notify the RP.
