I've definitely reproduced this as recently as today on a real machine on 16.04 (fully up to date) with similar symptoms described as reaching the shutdown target and then just hanging for a while.
I also uses sysrq to recover at that point. I've also noticed this in Virtualbox, particularly after installation is complete that it won't reboot.
