Yes, I get the same thing, also using arch.  I haven't bothered looking 
into it as its simpler just to shutdown from a terminal.

Are you able to access  admin apps with orca using sudo?  Presumably 
since this lets you shut down the system it must at some point be 
gaining root privaliges, (maybe its a setuid root app), and this is 
maybe why orca isn't reading it.  This is all just a vague idea and 
could be totally wrong.
