And all the FreeBSD documentation agrees with that.

It's probably worth contacting the FreeBSD maintainer about this issue
(if he isn't already subscribed to the list) and asking where the best
place to put the shutdown script is.  You may find that the "early.sh"
script is the best place, though it may need to add the shutdown
keyword to the script to ensure it's called at shutdown.
