Well first of all, I must clarify the "moving" after a crash. You're moving on your end, but nothing is registering on the server for it. The client just hasn't come to terms with the servers's death yet.
About a logout feature: This is one of the most requested features, and unfortunately would be a technical nightmare to implement currently. You have to realize that the startup procedure is rather intricate, and honestly not exactly perfect. The vast majority of which would need to be redone once reconnected to be in sync with the server. (also note that some dynamic IDs may have changed, even if nothing else has) Of course it's possible to create some sort of logout procedure and a coresponding relog procedure, but right now it's not worth the hair pulling it would take to write and get working. And for crashes, a restart would always be best, if just to get a clean slate. Preferably, we'd rather it just not crash.
