AFAIK you are correct, this is a bug in a few of the initscripts that
don't behave sensibly if the root fs is network mounted.
Another one that gets messed up is IPTAbles. I didn't think much of it
because I figured I was the only person in the world crazy enough to
have a diskless router/firewall.
Interestingly, some of my diskless hosts do all right with this, others
fail to shut down.
