FWIW, the actual culprit here would seem to be the Xserver running 
"underneath" xdm.  When the problem occurs, the user (me) has already 
been successfully logged out, and xdm has started up a new Xserver, 
which according to top(1) is running at 100% CPU.

If I 'kill -9' the Xserver process, then xdm exists normally and the 
shutdown proceeds.
