I can add some details... I've noticed it too of late. 9.1 updated as of an hour ago.
In X using any window manager choose logout and go to kdm. In kdm click on the shutdown button and choose either halt or reboot. and click the ok button. At that point you do what is in affect a telinit 3 The box moves from runlevel 5 to run level 3 instead of runlevel 6. (if I issue the runlevel command in tty1 you get 5 3 as the result. Meaning the default is 5 but it's at 3. From this point you can either login to type reboot or a shutdown command (which proceeds as normal) or give it the 3 finger salute and reboot that way.
