This looks like a packaging problem, and an excessive use of the term
'ups-monitor'. It might be better to report it in the nut mailing list [1] and
in the apcupsd mailing list [2].
If you run the apcupsd and the NUT upsd daemons at the same time, you will have
to unify the back-end to get a reliable system shutdown. The apcupsd shell
script apccontrol polls the daemon directly, but with NUT, an additional daemon
upsmon polls the upsd daemon. To unify NUT's upsmon with apccontrol, you will
have to use upsmon to feed NUT's upssched and then use upssched to feed the
shell script which in NUT is often known as upssched-cmd. Maybe you could
substitute an enhanced apccontrol for upssched-cmd and thus pick up all the
events.
UPS1 -> apcupsd -> apccontrol
UPS2 -> upsd -> upsmon -> upssched -> apccontrol
