I haven't seen evidence that it's not a runit bug. If you have the same 
problem with another init, then you do have some evidence.

Running your /etc/runit/{1,2} scripts in the correct order shouldn't be 
difficult with /etc/inittab. You won't use /etc/init.d/* at all unless you 
reference them from /etc/inittab.

/etc/runit/3 isn't relevant for the problem you are seeing.
