Interesting... Can you compare your experience with mine as described 
in PR 71800?

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=71800

I hadn't attributed this to the watchdog.  I'll try that, but I have 
two boxes with watchdog enabled (FreeBSD 5.3 and 5.2.1) which don't 
exhibit any failure to shutdown, and I have two boxes with 5.3 that do 
exhibit (one ever since 5.3 BETA) the kernel IRQ messages on any type 
of shutdown.  All have the watchdog on.
