For me, it seemed to start happening after a sid update a week or may be two ago. That's not useful for any pinpointing, but my sid update from yesterday did not relieve the issue.

Also, I came across the halt/poweroff thing quite a while back when others did too, so when from cmd line I do use sudo poweroff now, rather than halt. I too used to always use halt command. But not any more :) But in this instance, I'm trying to shutdown from XFCE "standard gui".
