I'm not sure how the message gets to the VM to shut it down cleanly but I'm guessing some sort of message gets to systemd in the VM. >> >> How long have you waited for it to shutdown?

If you do it within the VM, what result do you get with 'poweroff'? systemd maps init 0 to poweroff, as of course there is no init with systemd, but it maintains compatibility with init scripts so I expect init 0 to work the same as poweroff. I wonder if the GUI Shutdown option is mapped to halt rather than halt -p? That could be a bug. I'd expect Shutdown in the GUI to be the equivalent of power off within the VM, or of 'virsh shutdown' from the host.
