The Ubuntu side of this bug:
If a computer is affected then
a) in roughly 10% of the boots, there is not way to Shut Down or Log Out the computer for a Newbie - actually to find a workaround you basically need a working internet connection.
b) considering a) no responsible person would ever install Ubuntu on a Newbies computer. Imagine your mum, oncle, grandfather not being able to shut down the computer in 10% of the cases.
The Ubuntu-side of the bug is to have removed the shutdown/log-out options from the normal Menu/System despite the fact that the panel applets are not reliable for many, many users.
Not being able to shutdown/log out is a serious thing! Better to have two options to do this than only have one (non-reliable) option.
