Upstream can reproduce it (with a kubuntu live boot) , they say it is "weird" and guess: "On shutdown, label-pango is always loaded before switching the file system, but the font is loaded only when you hit the Esc key. Once the root file system is unmounted, label-pango no longer able to access system fonts, just what is located on the shutdown ramfs. This is why it can be a problem only on shutdown."
