A wild guess is that it might be force close of systemd user session, however it should not happen.

Isn't it this issue? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19023885
The discussion is too long. I am aware of "loginctl enable-linger" and of user logout timeout, but I have no reason to experiment with them in action yet.
I have read somewhere that ability to kill all user processes on logout was a design requirement for systemd. It must have when a computer is not really "personal": classrooms, public spaces like libraries. The implementation is to put user's processes into a cgroup. I hope, recipes to disable such behavior work well. Default behavior may be disputed, but I would not complain that such feature exists. If unrelated (ssh) session is killed on (DE) logout due to disabled lingering than it is a bug.
Systemd configuration might be an issue. As I wrote earlier, I agree that D-Bus is more probable. It might be PAM configuration for D-Bus session or systemd user session, it might be some scripts executed on logout by desktop environment or by login manager. Debugging may take enough time.
