SDDM: nm.dispatcher doesn't run pre-down script

Well, not quite.

The situation is as follows:
I'm using this approach to mount cifs shares which are only available locally. It has been working marvelously while I was using KDM, but I recently switched to KDE5 and SDDM.

Now, the unmounting semi-broke:

- disconnecting from WLAN using the applet: works
- disconnecting from WLAN using the hardware switch: works
- logging out: works
- shutting down/restarting: nope.

This means that shutting down directly makes the process hang at the infamous "a stop job is running for: unmount <cifs share>" because it can't unmount a share that isn't available (why?! the connection was lost anyway, so anything "unsaved" is lost already).
I even tested logging out then shutting down/restarting from the login screen, which, of course works because logging out does unmount the shares.

Any idea why it is not running the pre-down script on direct shutdown/restart?

I installed GNOME and it shows the same behavior as with KDE, so I guess it's a SDDM bug. I opened an issue here.
