No worries! I'll have to remember that one when helping others in their
troubleshooting.

No real solution, and yes, it's horribly annoying.
If you have "OnExit=2" in the [imonlcd] section of LCDd.conf, the LCD
will correctly turn off when LCDd is shutdown. (You can test this by
running sudo /etc/init.d/LCDd stop and seeing what happens).
Something in the linux/ubuntu shutdown process somehow resets the LCD
and the backlight comes back on.
This may be worthy of a separate ubuntu bug report.
