No, rcshutdown is only set to YES in /etc/default/rc.conf.  And I think random_seed is run at shutdown--who else is deleting the file?  I think the script thinks the /var/db is an unsafe filesystem.  As said I don't find a log entry unfortunately.  I see the message at boot time but on shutdown one can't read anything....
