I'm not going to let a little thing like no or contradicting evidence sway me from my pet theory! Whats the output of :

ps aux | grep monit

That'll tell us if watchdog is being run from a different location, though thats only likely to occur if you're not using a RHEL or derivative?

If you switch general_log to 1 then it should log all queries, which will prove/disprove whether its a shutdown from inside of MySQL, and if it disproves it it'll show you wish queries are being run immediately prior to shutdown, which may be an indicator to the problem...
