sporadic disk syncing failures when shutting down

I've been updating my current system a lot recently, and twice in the
last couple of weeks, the disks have not been properly synced before the
system reboots. I've been doing the usual
make buildworld
make buildkernel
make installkernel
shutdown -r now
make installworld
mergmaster
shutdown -r now
procedure and the problem has always happened on the final shutdown.
Stopping inetd.

Rebooting...
Each time this has happened, fsck finds and nukes a bunch of empty
directories. The last time this happened, the /etc/rc.d/yp* files that
mergmaster updated were missing after the reboot and fsck had done its
work. Nothing has ever shown up in lost+found.
Has anyone else seen this?
