I'm disappointed to see no response after a week!
The problem continues; it is specific to the 2.6.27 kernel (2.6.27-2 and 2.6.27-3).
Hardy with kernel 2.6.24-19 and Intrepid with kernel 2.6.26-5 shutdown or reboot correctly.
Trawling logs shows no entries after "sc-laptop exiting on signal 15" in messages and syslog.
Trying "sudo shutdown -r now > restart.txt" generates an empty file restart.txt
