Should the GNOME shutdown menu countdown?

Once I've clicked the power icon in the top-right, then the power icon again. I get a menu in the middle of the screen with cancel, restart and power off. It also has the message "This system will power off automatically in 60 seconds".

I swear when I first installed GNOME3 that message would actually countdown. i.e. 5 seconds later the message would say "This system will power off automatically in 55 seconds".

Well, it isn't now. Am I going mad?

EDIT: So it does countdown, just in increments of 10 seconds. I'm not going mad.

Yes, it counts down in 10s intervals up untill the last 10s, so it's: 60, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10, 9, 8, 7, ... 1 --- BOOM

I would not know if you're going mad or not, but the countdown is the same here, so you at least don't have to worry about this
