Something "simple" has been "added" as "shutdown -r/h now" works perfectly. I've seen this issue before but only for a few upgrades.

Yes, that "echo" line was added only recently (a week ago). I've pushed a fix on GitHub - should be in next update, as it's working fine for me.

Here's the diff: https://github.com/xbianonpi/xbian-package-xbmc-scripts/commit/fe6b665fc0fdc71f9969458850ec6f2f7248a153

To test:
* stop XBMC: sudo stop xbmc;
* apply the patch above to /etc/init/xbmc.conf (manual copy/paste is fine);
* this shouldn't be needed, but let's make sure Upstart knows about your modification: sudo initctl reload-configuration;
* start XBMC again: sudo start xbmc;
* try to reboot from the GUI.
