That's a good point, but I just tried it with an rc.shutdown script
that contains only the touch statement, and the file wasn't touched
(and I have tried running the touch manually).

I should also add that this problem has survived a world+kernel rebuild
to 7.0-RC2, which included the use of mergemaster. All the scripts
under /etc should be the ones in the repository.

No, just that it's rebooting and that syslog is exiting. On the
console I see the stuff that follows  the rc.shutdown, the diminishing
counters etc.
