No, I'd not expect the second stop to fail; and I can't reproduce any
such problem here.

The known bug might cause the *first* stop to fail; it basically
triggers if you have a client that sits idle for a long time (while
other sessions are doing work) and still remains idle after the shutdown
command comes.
