Which would be a regression as you had this working in the past.

there was nothing stopping the system from shutting down, so I'm at a loss at the moment to work out what is preventing shutdown from the KDE throbber.

An experiment you could try is to login on a console and run halt -p.

That will eliminate most of the gui stack.

To login to a console, is that logging in to the gdm prompt for credentials to start up KDE and then using ctrl+alt+F2 to switch to a console and logging in from there rather than actually starting KDE, or is something else required?

Do not login on gdm.

Type alt-ctrl-f3 and login on that console.

Now try halt -p
