(Get the code!)
Scott,
I can confirm that if I choose "Shut Down" from KDE's log out dialog, upstart will not power off my system. I do get the "System Halted" message from the kernel, at which point I need to manually reach for a power button or SysRq-O, which does power down my system.
However, /sbin/poweroff works correctly in turning off the computer after executing shutdown scripts.
I have not tested /sbin/halt yet, but I remember that with sysvinit that also powered down my system... perhaps that behavior changed with upstart?
