[Vserver] gentoo update breaks shutdowns?

there is something in my system that updated recently that has since broken
vserver's ability to report shutting down guests. I get this kind of report
on every type of guest. it also appears to be a random thing. other times i
shut guests down and i get no errors. this variable behavior was only noticed
yesterday because we are moving physical drives around so we have had to
stop/start the server otherwise we may not stop any for months. it also waits
the 'timeout' time before reporting.

as in example below, after this message i try a vps ax|grep 3910 and i find no
processes with that context running! an immediate restart is error free.

valkyrie boinc # vserver cacti stop
A timeout occured while waiting for the vserver to finish and it will
be killed by sending a SIGKILL signal. The following process list
might be useful for finding out the reason of this behavior:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
14685 3910 cacti ? Ss 0:00 init [3]
15181 3910 cacti ? Ss 0:00 \_ /usr/sbin/syslog-ng

15539 3910 cacti ? Ds 0:00 \_ /sbin/shutdown -r 0 w
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Vserver '/etc/vservers/cacti' still running unexpectedly; please investigate
it manually...

essentially when it behaves like this, every shutdown says it is still running
does anyone in gentoo-vserver land have any clue what may be causing this
apparently false report?

my util-vserver version is 0.30.212-r2

kernel version

2.6.19-vs2.2.0-rc2
