Comment:

 Reproduce: on XO-1.5 with os34 and q3a15b, this problem was successfully
 reproduced.  Note that powering off was done within ten seconds of hitting
 cancel.

 Diagnosis: this is a Sugar failure, the subsequent logs show that the
 Sugar shell terminates:

 Workaround: removing the .sugar directory allows the system to proceed.

 {{{
 rm -rf /home/olpc/.sugar
 }}}
