Yes, that would be what it is, and why.
I would vote that the sd stop-on-shutdown patch should go in, and possibly with the new behavior enabled by default. Surely the number of people running Linux on a laptop (or any other system with load/unload head technology drives) is much greater than the number of people running a SAN, multi-initiator, etc. environment where you might not want this..
