"The application Parallels Desktop canceled logout"

I often come back to my Mac (running OS 10.9.5) to find the following two messages:
  • "(User's) Boot Camp is using Boot Camp as one of its hard disks. Are you sure you want to suspend this virtual machine? No/Yes" (+ other text); and
  • The application Parallels Desktop canceled logout. Try logging out out again, quit Parallels Desktop and click Try Again. Cancel/Try Again"
It could be that PD is not to blame, but it happens when PD is running and when ...
  • ??The Mac is running but the screen has gone dark
  • ??The Mac has gone to sleep
  • ??Time Machine is saving to my Time Capsule
I have put question marks because I cannot isolate the issue, but it's around that area. Once the messages have appeared, I can continue working, but the two applications I run in Parallels (MS Word and Trados Studio 2014) no longer appear as separate icons in the "Cmd-Tab" application switcher.
Any idea what could be causing this behaviour?
