John, this happens to me too, but powering via USB. Once in w blue moon, there seems to be some sort of race condition, or something where the BBB is not getting enough power.
So in order to thwart this I've stopped using shutdown now -r, and instead use shutdown now -h. Then manually remove / reapply the USB cable.
