I guess it is just a timeout issue. Take a look at the stop()-function
in /etc/init.d/postgresql. It calls
start-stop-daemon [...]
--retry -TERM/${WAIT_FOR_DISCONNECT}/-INT/${WAIT_FOR_CLEANUP}/-QUIT [...]

I have the same issue with a virtual server. At the moment, I just
ignore it. I guess it would be safer to increase the timeout somehow.

Hope this helps,
