Comment(by ralfd):

 Ok, I guess I was a little too optimistic. There a a few different code
 sections that control this behaviour, not only the one I changed so far.

 I was able to reproduce the behaviour that was reported by bullestock. The
 problem is that the code does not consider the time we give the backend
 prior to shutting down (m_secondsToShutdown). Most people probably have
 this value set pretty low (60 or 120s). Therefore it is rather unlikely
 that it becomes a problem. One would have to exit the frontend exactly
 within that timeframe prior to the next system start-up in order to have
 problems with it. The higher m_secondsToShutdown is the higher the
 probability that it becomes an issue.

 I will dig into the code a little more when time allows and hope to be
 able to present a clean fix for this issue soon.

 Don't bother applying the patch I uploaded.
