failed shutdown sequence 1

Description of problem:

Pressed the power button.  When the "shutdown this system now" dialog appeared I selected Shutdown.  The machine started to shutdown, the screen went black, I shut the lid and put the laptop in a bag.  A few hours later when I got it out of the bag, I found that it was EXTREMELY HOT. I opened it up and found that it had gotten stuck during the shutdown, see 1.jpg.  I then hit ctrl+alt+del which then caused the shutdown to continue one more step, but then get stuck again, see 2.jpg.  Again I hit ctrl+alt+del and the shutdown continued, see 3.jpg, and ultimately powered off.

I consider this to be a very serious issue.  It has potential to damage hardware.

Would it be possible to have a kernel based watchdog timer shut the power off if things go wrong?

I believe this is a duplicate of an already reported bug.
