It is a design limitation AFAIK, not a bug.  At least the last time I 
asked SJR about it, Upstart doesn't use cgroups to track children like 
systemd does, and so it looses track of children of the jobs it creates, 
such as programs the logged in user runs, and they can continue running 
even though you stop the gdm job.

Ahh, I hadn't noticed that.  I'll have to read up on it.
