Ah, that's correct. It complains a lot, but indeed our bug reporters
say that everything works fine with ethernet on shutdown. The remote
fs specific problems are due to wpasupplicant going down early with
dbus instead of at the (much later) time when we intend it to go down.
Avahi, libvirt etc. are more "typical" dbus services which go down
when the system dbus does, and do cause trouble.
