Bug still appears in Beta2, on my iMac11,1 i7 -

 I had to do a f6, esc, (selecting nomodeset doesn't appear to change the line) then manually added the following in the boot line:

  i915.modeset=0 radeon.modeset=0

I then get the purple ubuntu screen with the 5 red dots and then thats all. Pressing the power button, wait for the CD to pop out, then press the enter key on the wireless seems to cleanly shutdown.
