calculating logit parameters (odd ratio is exactly one or zero)

1. The formula you used is not for a logistic but an ordinal regression 
(since you are using the default gaussian family rather than 
family="binomial" or whatever.

2. R (nor any other software) can deal with perfect separation (nor 
quasi-separation) of classes, since the problem is not well defined in 
such a case as you found out already. R will give a warning in that 
case, that the Fisher Scoring does not converge.

LDA will give perfect results in such a case (well, unless the within 
class covariance matrix is singular).
