The libvirt API has this to say regarding the shutdown command: virDomainShutdown: Shutdown a domain, the domain object is still usable there after but the domain OS is being stopped. *Note that the guest OS may ignore the request.*
It is likely a guest OS issue. Which guest are you running? I had problems shutting down Windows guests, I had to resort to Destroy too in order to make sure the guest effectively guests shut down.
