I normally boot F13 and Rawhide using runlevel 3, and shutdown with the halt
command. Sometimes, when it's trying to unmount disks just before powering
down, I'll see "/ is busy", and next time I boot, there are often a few orphan
inodes. I'd guess you're experiencing the same problem and that it has nothing
to do with how you're shutting down. I have no idea what causes it but haven't
noticed any associated problems, either.
