Yes, this is correct.
Background is that you can save session based information for a user 
even if he/she isn't logged in at all.
If someone should log in at a later time (with the same session) his/her 
session data is being "transfered" to the user data.

All in all pretty smart, although I dislike the select, delete, select 
again, insert, select approach of TYPO3.

If I got some spare time I will dig through those classes (3 or 4 if I 
remember correctly).

Oli, this might be another use-case for my "competence-center" idea we 
talked about in Laax.
