I know, another distro another kernel.
But it is quite the same phenonemon.
https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/4/4/121
is a report about some kernel issue, which maybe could be the cause...

I tried:
laptop-mode-tools weren't installed on my PCs
So I installed it on 2 PCs.
After restart one powered off after shutdown via GUI the other didn't.

I removed laptop-mode-tools on the PC were it didn't work and restarted:
Now it powered off after shutdown via GUI.

Now I tested shutdown again and one powered off after shutdown via GUI the other where I installed and removed the laptop-mode-tools did not power off after shutdown via GUI.

so....
