And the reason you never saw the issue was probably because you had S35networking in /etc/rc6.d instead of S09networking. Due to older versions of netbase /etc/init.d/networking was running prior to /etc/init.d/reboot and /etc/init.d/halt. I strongly suggest recoding the tests such that they do not rely on /usr, or update the code to bail very early if /usr is not available.
