Any libata system.  Previous kernels just didn't warn you about the borkage.

>  - do you know of any fix?

Find the line that reads hddown="-d" or something like that in
/etc/init.d/halt and change it to hddown="".   After you do that, don't use
any kernels before 2.6.22.

>  - is it a problem or not?

Yes, it is.
