This appears to have been an intentional behavior change (bug 532366). However, if nothing else, the comment in /etc/default/halt should be updated:

  # Default behaviour of shutdown -h / halt. Set to "halt" or "poweroff".
  HALT=poweroff

Added a sysvinit task for initscripts, which owns /etc/default/halt.
