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).
