I think it's by design. It used to shutdown regardless when users were logged in, but this isn't desirable for multi-user systems. Now, it wouldn't matter whether you tried to shutdown as the admin user or the normal user, as I understand it. It will only log you out until no more users are logged in. As Daniel said, you can force it with the right command.
I guess it could be clearer that there is still someone logged in, and I believe this used to be clearer than it is with unity. Neil. P.S. Sorry for the brevity, this is typed on my phone.
