This doesn't work for me. I see the following:

sh-3.1# shutdown -r now
(running in test mode).
Greetings.
anaconda installer init version 11.0.5 starting
mounting /proc filesystem... done
creating /dev filesystem... done
mounting /dev/pts (unix98 pty) filesystem... done
mounting /sys filesystem... done
sh-3.1#

Any other ideas?

Why not? In FC4, when I exited the rescue mode shell it appeared to
unmount everything, kill all procs, and reboot. I'd say that's a clean
shutdown.
