I was logged into all the main wikis, and when I visited wikimania2012.wikimedia.org I was not logged in, so I logged in using my unified account. However, I was simultaneously logged out of all the other sites including Meta and Wikipedia. When I logged back in to those wikis the login to the wikimania2012 wiki stayed.
this seems to also occur with the wikimania 2013 wiki.
I think it's too late to worry about the Wikimania 2012 wiki, but think that https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/38722/ will fix it for the Wikimania 2013 wiki. I think the issue is that the wikimania wiki is not part of the CentralAuth "Logging you in to Wikimedia's other projects:" that you see when logging in.
Yeah, for example if I go to http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page (the UK chapter wiki, but WMF hosted) I have to manually login. I'm pretty sure a wiki needs to be included in "Logging you in to Wikimedia's other projects" (with the icon) to make it work, though I'm not expert at this and could be wrong.

Merged and deployed by Reedy on the 16th. Logging into wikimania2013wiki doesn't seem to log me out of other wikis.
