Well maybe that's from "shutdown" not bash?
At least here since the change in bash was reverted  history is always 
saved except if log out/restart/shutdown is done from indicator, 
(indicator-session/gtk-logout-helper) while the terminal is still open

If shutting down from the terminal then history is saved
