"xl shutdown" is currently behaving precisely as documented.

Setting aside the complexity of implementing the behaviour you desire
playing tricks with turning power button derived reboots into shutdowns
and vice versa "xl shutdown" cannot work reliably because the guest can
perform effectively arbitrary actions on power button press, doing
nothing is one option and suspend/hibernation is the other common
reaction which we certainly do not want to trigger when attempting to
shutdown or reboot.

In short I don't think the behaviour you desire is ever going to happen.

This test failure is preventing us from testing a much more interesting
scenario, specifically HVM guest migration.

Ian.
