Solution :
Don't run 'shutdown -h' in an xterm.
Instead, click the logout button in your WM (or desktop), then choose
the shutdown option from your display manager.
I suspect that all the output goes to vc7 because that's where the
command was run from. However, until X is killed, you won't see any
of that output since it overwrites its own stuff on vc7. When X goes
away, you are sent to vc1. Now you don't see any messages because you
sent them to vc7. Using my technique, the messages will come out on
vc1 and that's where you'll be sent.
Alternatively, switch to vc1 first then run shutdown.
