No luck here (Xubuntu 14.04), what actually did fix the issue was
installing the latest stable release of lightdm-gtk-indicator from the
upstream ppa. This caused a few hiccups with the Greybird theme, but at
least the ghost sessions are gone without any kind of workaround.

This is a glaring red sign that neither lightdm nor upstart are the
appropriate packages for this issue, but lightdm-gtk-greeter is.

Anyone proficient with bzr willing to perform a bisect between 2.0.1
(ppa - working) and 1.8.5 (trusty-updates, not working)?

Title:
  lightdm sessions started by dm-tool lock (or a session locker) never
  get closed

Bug description:
  dm-tool lock starts a new lightdm greeter (for unlocking) and a new
  logind session. After unlocking the greeter disappears, but the logind
  session never closes. loginctl session status c24 reports something
  like:

  c24 - lightdm (103)

                    └─7907 init --user --startup-event indicator-services-start

  This results in an accumulation of stale lightdm sessions after using
  e.g. a session locker for a while.

  I get this issue on a freshly installed and fully updated Xubuntu
  14.04.
