Werner,
When shutdown is issued from the Desktop, X/GDM is restarted. This interferes
with chvt in the /etc/init.d/rc script. chvt tried to switch to tty1, but can't
since X/GDM restarts at the same time, so the command "hangs" there. This is
why hitting ctrl+alt+F1 actually makes the machine shutdown (ie, the chvt
command "succeeds" and the rest of the rc script continues)
No other init scripts are involved at this stage.
This also explains why the second shutdown works, since X/GDM now wants to
restart again, we briefly end up on tty1, making chvt succeed so that the rest
of the rc shutdown script can continue.
