Yes, the logic changed. /etc/rc no longer "evaluates" other scripts, pulling in damage to it's variable space. Use halt -p or shutdown -p if you want to power down. I understand that there is contention over powerdown vs non-powerdown, but perhaps bringing this to the fore will result in a big decision about what to do.
