I too have noticed this, though a slight variation.  If I have composite
enbabled *and* I run xcompmgr... I have your very symptoms everytime I
shutdown X.  If I leave composite enabled (and no xcompmgr) I can get
out of X just fine.

This without a doubt began (for me) when I upgraded to Xorg 7.x.

I have not had time to look into it further.
