libvirt sends "system_powerdown" to the monitor; is ACPI is enabled then the guest sees the event but it's free to ignore it (it's the same as pressing the power button on a real machine: the OS sees the event and may start the shutdown, ask the user what to do, ignore it, etc.); e.g. the default ACPI script of the debian stops the desktop manager if it's running but doesn't shut down the machine. If the ACPI daemon is not running in the guest then the event is lost...
