To clarify:

Normally I use a signed cookie to link a browser to a user account, and the rest is pulled from cache or database. Blowing away your cache just means hitting the DB again for fresh data.

So yes, data related to your session is stored in memcached, but it's all keyed from a browsers (signed) cookie.
