If card detection is done via polling, due to broken-cd (Freescale LX2160, etc.), or for other reasons, then the card will be polled asynchronously and periodically.
If that polling happens after the card has been put in powered off state (i.e. during system shutdown/reboot), then the polling times out. That timeout is of a long duration (10s). And it is repeated multiple times (x3). And that is all done after the watchdogd has been disabled, meaning that system watchdogs are not being kicked.
If the MMC polling exceeds the watchdog trip time, then the system will be ungraciously reset. Or in the case of a pretimeout capable watchdog, the pretimeout will trip unnecessarily.

CMD6 is SWITCH_FUNC and arg 03220301 is POWER_OFF_NOTIFICATION (bits 16:23 = 0x22 = 34).
CMD13 is SEND_STATUS, and when it occurs after the POWER_OFF_NOTIFICATION (as above) bad things happen.
I have made the following change to attempt to work around the issue, and it seems to hold up, but is also quite brute force:
