Single user mode behaviour with serial console in 7.0RC2

Hi,
I have built a FreeBSD 7.0RC2 system to use both the serial and video
consoles.
I find that when I drop into single user mode (shutdown now) on the terminal
connected to the box itself I do not see the single user mode prompt on the
serial console terminal.
Likewise, when I drop to single user mode on the serial console I do not see
the single user prompt on the terminal connected to the box itself.
Is this expected, or have I configured something incorrectly?
In /etc/make.conf I have BOOT_COMCONSOLE_SPEED=115200
In my kernel configuration file I have:
options CONSPEED=115200
I have rebuilt and installed world and the kernel.
In /etc/ttys I have
ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.115200" vt100 on secure
I have also re-installed the bootstrap code:
cd /usr/src/sys/boot
make install
bsdlabel -B bootPartition
In /boot/loader.conf I have
boot_multicon="YES"
boot_serial="YES"
comconsole_speed="115200"
console="vidconsole,comconsole"
Kind regards,
Geoff
