I reported it initially against initscripts, but after a lot of backing
out, the culprit seems to be gnome-session (although I did blame
plymouth at one point).
If anyone can verify my somewhat ham-handed analysis, I'd appreciate the
help.

One other poster/tester reported that he gets the bug going from
runlevel 5 to runlevel 3. I was able to verify that. So I think the
better characterization is that the bug appears (sometimes, argh) when
exiting runlevel 5 (whether for 0, 3, or 6 seems irrelevant).
