When I try that command, shutdown prints the usage info and complains that the "time" argument is mandatory. I assume you didn't tell us the entire command line you are using. When I test using 'shutdown -t 111 -h now', the shutdown starts immediately. Not sure if that is the correct behavior or not, as init isn't really the program stopping services. It is done by init.d scripts called by init.d/rc. I had a look at the code in init, and if I read it correctly, the '-t 111' argument specify a timeout, aka how long to wait at most for the children of init to terminate, it does not specify a sleep period. On the other hand, in shutdown (when used with -n), it does specify a sleep period. So, in short, I am confused what -t is supposed to do with the current setup, and do not know if anything should be fixed or not.
