I should have made clearer these things aren't usually the culprit. the process in question isn't running when you log in to tty, though? and tty also hangs comparably to what you described with X? There was a way that made old kernels dump all syslog to tty12, which I think was removed from syslog.conf. I only know I left it in however, if shutting down immediately crashes, sleep 2 && shutdown; <ctrl-alt-f12> could work...
