I'm not sure if this can be considered as a bug (not that it's a feature!).
log_*_msg are not only used to log in the syslog (when available), but also
to display info on the console...
by the time we reach the end of the shutdown process, FS are remounted
read-only.
so even if syslogd was still active, it would not be able to log in the FS
syslog file!

cheers,
Arnaud
