    I checked, and the settings are just as you quoted.
    However, while browsing the SuSE support database I
    noticed they recommend including the kernel option
    "apm=real-mode-poweroff" or simply "apm=power-off" for
    multi-processor machines (which the ht-enabled systems
    are in some way).

    I set the kernel option "apm=real-mode-poweroff", and
    for the last two days shutdown worked. Might be just
    the luck of the draw, of course, since it used to work
    about 30% of the time. I'll keep the list updated...
