Are you using any sort of cahceing, because that would just plain

No caching that I'm aware of beyond what MW does.

Default mediawiki caching will give you problems. You need to disable
page caching on at least the pages which use your tag, by using
$parser->disableCache()

Thanks, Platonides.
I do understand how to get the user from within PHP; I was hoping to
get it from within wikitext.
I suppose I could write an extension that does nothing but answer
the current user and their ID...
Thanks again, and I found a perfect place to put this stuff so I don't
have to cobble up an extension from scratch.

This extension is pretty cool. It will basically let you define new
"magic words" as needed from anything that is available in the PHP
environment.
