Are you sure this is a bug?
Searching the internet shows many people asking the same question as you, and
the answer seems to be that it was probably a failed shutdown that caused the
issue.
Apparently, the shutdown script creates the file to prevent a fresh login while
the system shuts down. The script normally removes the file at the end of the
shutdown process.
Does the problem reoccur, or was it a one-off?
