I'm not sure this is a bug.
The power off dialog is meant to ask apps if they can, or to try to,
close. Apps then have the opportunity to say "no" or to ask you to save
your work.
Depending on the design of the message it might be appropriate for apps
to terminate immediately when they get it. I don't quite know what the
design of that mechanism looks like, but the behaviour of some apps
terminating sounds reasonable. Most likely it's either not a bug at all,
or a bug in the app itself.
