I have noticed that when I am logged out of my site, the statistics pane, which is still visible,  shows 1 Guest on line. However I am absolutely sure that I have not allowed any guests to register and that no other users are assigned as guests. In fact, right now, as I experiment, I am the only user. Is this a bug? Or what?

That is normal. You are probably the guest or a visiting bot that is normal/expected.

How can I be the guest, if I (and nobody else) is logged in?
I do not understand what you mean by bot? What does a bot do? Can the bot  'see' the posts and other perhaps private information on  the site?

No search engines can only see what a guest can see.
Bots visit forums all the time they come from ads, search engines.
