Just came across the apparently similar bug above in which Luis Lumbrera Picazo proposed:
"SOLUTION THAT WORKS FOR ME:
Ctrl+Alt+F2 -> Login -> Password -> sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop -> sudo halt --poweroff"
(I used "sudo service gdm stop").
Unfortunately this makes no difference to me: system still hangs on shutdown with text:
"* Stopping MySQL database server mysqld...done
* Shutting down Alsa...
* Asking remaining processes to terminate...
* Deconfiguring network interfaces...
* Deactivating Swap...
* Will now halt"
