lbrandy has it right here. If your definition of "tracking" is "web server log analysis," then nearly every web site you visit is tracking you. It's really nothing to worry about though, unless Facebook is doing something to de-anonymize that (otherwise stateless) data. They could probably do that (by noting the IP and User-agent seen when logging out, for example), but they explicitly claim not to in a number of places, most recently by lbrandy in this thread.

The "problem" is that the FB widget is all over the web, giving them the the possibility to track users not only on a single page, but on (almost) the whole web. I put "problem" in quotes because it's only really a problem if users don't know that. And I think the vast majority of FB users don't know that FB knows almost every page they visit on the web. The same is true for google as well of course.
