In other words, it's not shutting down cleanly, so it's not actually doing
'/sbin/init 0'.

No, I have the very same powerbtn.sh as you, and it's called when I
initiate the power-button 'event'.
At this point, I'm not sure what to suggest. I don't remember (this has
been going on for a while :) whether you indicated what kind of machine
we're talking about. Is there a BIOS setting not set? You _do_ have an
ACPI-compliant BIOS? I know, I'm just grasping at straws at this point.
