Bug Description
If you're logged in to snapd, and thus have a snapd user id, and do a 'snap logout' followed by a 'snap login' using the same u1 account, you'll get a new user id.
This means refreshes that would've tried to use the old user id will be done with id 0 instead, meaning private snaps won't get refreshed.
This becomes a problem when trying to interact with a snapd with expired macaroons, which results in a rather opaque "invalid credentials" that might drive the user to log out and back in.
This is mitigated somewhat by the fact that the user could instead just do a 'snap login' again instead, but that is not necessarily obvious.
