According to man "systemd.special" "shutdown.target: ... Services that shall be terminated on system shutdown shall add Conflicts= and Before= dependencies to this unit for their service unit, which is implicitly done when DefaultDependencies=yes is set (the default)." multipathd.service sets DefaultDependencies=no and includes the Conflits= dependency, but not the Before= one. This can cause multipathd to continue running past when it is supposed to during shutdown.
