That's documented behavior. (See the Admin Guide: If slapd is stopped before the index task completes, indexing will have to be manually completed using the slapindex tool. Generally when people issue a shutdown command to slapd they want it to Stop Right Now. I think it would be a bad idea to wait, and I see nothing to change here. This ITS should be closed.
