The wp_logout action works from plugins in 1.5 (just checked).

To be sure, wp-login.php includes wp-config.php, which includes
wp-settings.php, which loads plugins.  If it's not working, make sure
you're calling exit().  Otherwise your redirect is overridden by the
code following the wp_logout action.

I wasn't doubting the reasoning for the issues, just throwing an idea
out there for consideration.  There are plenty of situations where the
wp_logout action isn't appropriate, and 1239 is one of them.  My
apologies.
