Today I tested 5 other drives with different paritioning schemes (1 primary + 1 extended partition with some logical partitions in it): 3 of them were successfully Safely removed (in Nautilus) and Powered off (in Disks), 2 of them were successfully Safely removed (in Nautilus) and Powered off (in Disks) only after manual unmount.
