I can sort of accept that, though if 'halt -p' is broken on some machines, strictly speaking that's not the fault of GDM - granted I'm in slightly over my head here, so correct me if this is completely wrong, but it sounds like it's most likely a problem either with the apm driver in the kernel or with buggy power management on the affected machines, and I'd suggest submitting a PR and/or disabling the driver on those machines. With the driver disabled (or on older machines that don't support APM), '-p' behaves like '-h', so GDM would exhibit its "old" shutdown behaviour in these cases.
