That is completely correct. init s changes to the single-user mode runlevel but DOES NOT kill any user processes. You're supposed to go to runlevel 1 first. So use init 1 to go to single user mode, or even better, use the standard and more portable command shutdown now which effectively does an init 1 for you. Not a bug, closing.
