Well, Arch is a rolling release distro and it usually takes just hours
to a few couple of days until the official releases hit the repositories ;).
Sure enough, the Arch package is up to date, so this shouldn't be a
problem. As long as you don't run a custom kernel you don't have to
worry about any kernel modules either.

Obviously I don't know that much about the nvidia package myself, so
unfortunately there isn't much I can tell you. When running into the
already mentioned problems with the closed source driver, I was pointed
to [1], which seems to be the official place to go when running into
trouble.
Just another guess: Have you tried any other distro (or even Windows for
that matter) in order to exclude any kind of hardware defect?

Well still nothing in the logs that even resemble any help for me which
is becoming frustrating.
Though with further testing what I thought helped does not appear to
have. I was able to shutdown/reboot about 10 times smoothly. Then after
that each shutdown or reboot I tried went back to the old behavior of
having the red screen.
I am back to having to use shutdown -hF 1 or longer wait to get it to
smoothly shutdown or reboot.
Thanks again to those who have offered some insite so far, I will keep
trying more things to see if I can track this down, or fingers crossed
some miraculous update comes that automagically fixes me ;P
