So there's something in a config file that says, "When you switch to
runlevel X, shut the system down"?  I don't see anything that looks like
it might have that function in either /etc/inttab or /etc/rc0.d; where would
it be?  (And, again, I'm specifically curious about whether this could be
done by editing config files.  Touching the source (or editing the compiled
binary) is cheating...)

I suspected as much.
