This is an upstart bug, at least as far as SysV compatibility goes.

halt/reboot under SysV check the runlevel when they run - if it's 0 or 6
(reboot/halt), then 'force' is implied. upstart's versions don't have that code,
so they just call shutdown again, which starts the loop/hangs.

Patch attached momentarily.
