Reason is that when DISCONNECTING signal is sent, there is very little
time to do anything before the connection is disconnected. So I
suspect that the connection was disconnected before the signal was
sent.

I would say it is a feature.

As a workaround you could perhaps use the network script at
/etc/network/if-down.d and trigger the statistics query from there.
