That seems to be the case.  I had assumed that rcorder would get
invoked there too, but it doesn't.  Presumably that's because most of
the scripts there *are* old-style, but it wouldn't be very hard to
filter them into old- and new- style lists if someone wanted to code
that up.  It doesn't sound very useful, though; not the way doing it
for the system startup scripts was.
