No, that would be ok with me.
Anything that gets us out of the trap that you can shutdown
a server without any warning and then cannot restart it without
manual intervention.
What about: refuse shutdown for "smart" if a backup is in progress,
but shutdown with a loud warning for "fast".
... I still don't know what's wrong with removing backup_label
upon a clean server shutdown ...
