Thank you for reporting this bug. It sounds similar to something that I'm seeing. Can you try one thing to confirm this:
Boot the live DVD, select restart, wait until the hard drive activity stops (or just wait a good minute or two), then press the enter key and see if the system reboots.
That is the behavior I'm seeing. I simply see the desktop background, which seems to suggest that's it's not hanging, but rather that plymouth is simply not drawing the shutdown splash correctly.
