initctl emit is supposed to block until the upstart jobs hung off that
event complete, so this is more likely to be usplash's fault. Could you
grep for usplash processes instead of gdm, and show us what's running
there?
I suspect that 'usplash_write QUIT' is blocking because nothing is
listening on the usplash FIFO, in which case the only reliable fix for
this is likely to be sorting out the usplash main loop so that we can
just send it SIGTERM.
