OK. Here's the last piece of the puzzle. The strace for the daemon gives:
Process 7475 attached - interrupt to quit
21:04:29.883761 select(1, [0], NULL, NULL, NULL) = ? ERESTARTNOHAND (To be restarted)
21:04:40.296456 --- SIGTERM (Terminated) @ 0 (0) ---
21:04:40.297103 select(1, [0], NULL, NULL, NULL) = ? ERESTARTNOHAND (To be restarted)
21:04:50.309359 +++ killed by SIGKILL +++

The pause is clearly visible in the timings between the last 2 lines.
