After Etienne and Clint said this problem is most easily reproduced by a slow fsck - I checked and I do appear to have filesystems unmounted uncleanly. So I'll investigate that as a separate issue (when I find out how to get my shutdown messages recorded to log). I'm certainly experiencing shutdowns that are very quick compared to my last install in Hardy Heron.
