No, the reason is much simpler: the file system is a module of its own. The kernel doesn't have absolute control over it.
Anyway, after the super block gets written, there should definitely be another cache flush of the underlying device. If that doesn't happen, there is likely to be something wrong.
Bye, Axel.
