I'm really too ignorant to be answering questions and should be asking some. However I can't think of any. Except: any clues in the logs? Look here: /usr/share/doc/systemd/README.Debian.gz under Debugging boot/shutdown problems ================================ which explains how to create a root debug shell on VT 9 available quite late in the shutdown process; or, failing or in lieu of that, generating a shutdown-log.txt file instead. Good luck.
