Can you tell when /data gets umounted during the shutdown sequence?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but once that happened, /dev/md4 should
become free as far as XFS is concerned.

However, since mdadm or the kernel fails to stop the device during
shutdown, I am guessing that the partition is simply not being
umounted.

Does it have an entry in /etc/fstab?

Try changing the 

  #! /bin/sh

in line 1 of /etc/rc6.d/S40umountfs to

  #! /bin/sh -x
  exec 2> /root/umountfs.out.2

then reboot and paste that file somewhere (http://rafb.net/paste).
