To furtehr complicate the keyboard and firmware theories, I get the problem when I manually cast "sudo shutdown -h now" but not when I shutdown from gdm or perhaps gnome or xfce. Unless basic unix commands have changed in the last few years I've been away from Gnu-Linux, the "-h" should still tell the computer to shutdown, with the -h for halting the hd?.
I run the iMac DV 400 Mhz with a keyboard with the power button and I never noticed this problem back when I ran warty or hoary on this same hardware.
