systemd ignores / overrides 'shutdown -t' delay?

I've recently built a VM against jessie, and just for the heck of it, I
left it with the default systemd-based configuration.

When I log in to the console as root and try to shut down, I get the
following:

========
# shutdown -h -t 0
Broadcast message from root@hostname (Fri 2015-09-11 14:08:29 EDT):

The system is going down for power off at Fri 2015-09-11 14:09:29 EDT!
========

I.e., even though I specified a shutdown delay of zero seconds (meaning
to shut down immediately), the shutdown is being delayed by 60 seconds.

What I expected instead was a response including the line

========
The system is going down for power off NOW!
========

and an immediate shutdown (without even enough delay to log root out via
Ctrl-D), which is what I get on my other systems, where systemd is not
the active init system.

Google has not been helpful in trying to figure out why this might be
happening; there are plenty of hits explaining how to make systemd
inhibit shutdown or add a delay or the like, and a few hits related to
Debian bug 635777 (which seems to be about a delay after the shutdown
has actually begun, not about a delay in initiating the shutdown), but
no real useful hints.

Grepping recursively and case-insensitively through /etc/systemd for
'shut' and '60' (separately) produces only two hits, neither of which
seems relevant.

Any idea why this is happening, and how to get this VM to respect the
semantics of the shutdown command again?
