Congratulations, Chris. You made a perfectly nice bug report, full with potentially important automatically gathered information :-) .

As a workaround you might try to unload the offending module by hand before shutdown:
open a Terminal
type: sudo modprobe -rv rt2800pci
if that succeeds shut down now. It might however complain that the module is in use (and can therefore not be unloaded). In this case right click the Network Manager icon in the menu bar and deselect "Enable Wireless". Then try sudo modprobe -rv rt2800pci again.
For one thing if this works (or not) this will give us more info about the bug and it might also be safer than a hard shutdown.
