I guess this is it? I couldn't follow the chain of qemu_opts to find
what sort of change -no-shutdown made to the shutdown_action.

Yes, "-no-shutdown" is short for "-action shutdown=pause".  From there 
it goes process_runstate_actions -> qmp_marshal_set_action -> 
qmp_set_action, where it sets "shutdown_action = SHUTDOWN_ACTION_PAUSE".
