The relevant portions of /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d are here:

RUNLEVEL=/sbin/runlevel
RL=`${RUNLEVEL} | sed 's/.*\ //'`

## Handles shutdown sequences VERY safely
## i.e.: forget about policy, and do all we can to run the script.
## BTW, why the heck are we being run in a shutdown runlevel?!
if test x${RL} = x0 || test x${RL} = x6 ; then
    FORCE=yes
    RETRY=yes
    POLICYHELPER=
    BEQUIET=
    printerror ----------------------------------------------------
    printerror WARNING: invoke-rc.d called during shutdown sequence
    printerror enabling safe mode: initscript policy layer disabled
    printerror ----------------------------------------------------
fi

So I suppose the first question is, what's the output of
/sbin/runlevel on your system?
