Seems to be there. At least kdm 4.8.4-4 (sid) shows the same effect, 
same config files, same workaround updates utmp.

What about changing the shutdown-at-night script to not use »who«, 
instead looking for shell like bash/dash or session string to find 
logins? Would that be a way for existing installations? Could also solve 
the problem inside the chroot by a simple package update.
