Bug Description
NetworkManager does not respond to SIGTERM when started in daemon mode, as upstart does by default. This also happens when running NetworkManager manually from the command line as long as the --no-daemon option is not used.
This was reported upstream and was fixed by commit
64342a313ef49
It appears that this bug forces upstart to SIGKILL NetworkManager during shutdown, which, amoung other things, means that n-m doesn't deconfigure network interfaces as intended. This bug, along with bug 1124789 (in wpasupplicant), means that no attempt is made to disconnect from a wifi network during shutdown. This in turn triggers a bug in my BIOS which causes this system to hardlock in the middle of BIOS post when I reboot while still connected to a wifi network:
