I don't know about the reason it hangs but this may help get you a
cleaner shutdown. This is taken from a email that was sent to me during
that horrible xorg-server and hal upgrade.

I tried this once when I was unable to get my keyboard to respond to
anything else. I made it through the first three or four and was
returned to a console with a working keyboard. Since you are shutting
down, you may want to go through them all to be safe. I think the last
one does a reboot.
Hope that helps.
