This sounds really wrong... SIGQUIT is a signal to ask a process to
terminate and core dump. If the app is using this signal to terminate
cleanly, then that would be really confused...

Note that for most services ExecStop= is actually unnecessary to
specify, since systemd sends SIGTERM to them anyway, which is the most
common way how sservices are told to terminate anyway...

Hmm, check syslog. Note that there's currently a race in the syslog
handling between the journal and the clients, so that messages that are
logged immediately before a service exits might nor properly be
associated with that service. There's a kernel patch pending to allow us
to fix that. In the meantime, check the full "journalctl" for those
messages...
