I've been able to consistently reproduce this bug by having an active 'su' session. If I close the 'su' session first then the shutdown/restart works as it should. Please confirm. I certainly hope this is enough to find the bug as it was driving me crazy :) The reason I've been seeing it much more often is because I almost always have an aptitude open (which uses 'su' to get root privileges).
