penalvch: I have not been experiencing this bug since 13.04 was released, maybe even 12.10. So I think the issue probably doesn't remain in any development releases. I say this because I'd rather not install a development release on my only computer, especially since I don't know how to reliably trigger the issue. Hopefully that's good enough though, since the issue seems to be fixed.
I am now running a fully-upgraded 13.10 (with latest kernel for 13.10), with extra packages from that big GNOME3 PPA as well. So the issue seems to have resolved itself.

Ordinary means meaning choosing "Power Off..." from the GNOME 3 top- right menu. When I try, nothing happens whatsoever (at least not on the surface). WORKAROUND: I am forced to run "sudo poweroff" or "sudo reboot", which do work. --- AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.24.
