I cannot reproduce this. In both current 15.10 and current Xenial "sudo shutdown -P 9:35" worked fine. Can you please:
- run "sudo systemd-analyze set-log-level debug" - start "sudo journalctl -f" in one terminal - in another terminal, run that command, check the exit code ("echo $?") and copy&paste the full output - wait until the scheduled time has passed - copy&paste the whole output of the "journalctl -f" in the first terminal.
