I assume this is the same bug that's affecting 8 of my systems, and several other people on the ubuntu forums. If I select to shutdown from the normal GUI menu, I get a popup conformation and after selecting my choice, it throws me back to the desktop as though I never issued a shutdown request, OR it starts to shutdown and hangs with unity gone but a grayed/shaded desktop view, a black screen, or a login screen.
My workaround was to issue a dbus shutdown and create a launcher for the Dash bar. This is no solution, but it's a usable workaround.
