I have seen a similar problem with usbhid-ups on an MGE Pulsar
Evolution with Ubuntu 7.04. The machine shuts down on the LB signal,
but the UPS stays on.

My suspicion is that there is something in the Ubuntu shutdown
procedure that is killing the driver (or upsd) before it can send the
shutdown command to the UPS.

I haven't had a chance to verify this, though.
