Help Hit The Power Button During Shutdown, Phone Won't Boot?

I seem to have discovered a weird issue. Sometimes when I would shut down my N1 (because an app wouldn't quit or other troubleshooting), and the phone wouldn't start back up or even charge.

I think I narrowed it down to hitting the power button before the shutdown is complete. Normally this wouldn't be an issues, but I think the screen sometimes will turn off before it's done completely shutting down. To get it bootable again, I have to take the battery out for a good 30 seconds.

That's my theory anyway. I'm planning on contacting HTC support, but I want to know if it's just my phone, or a more common thing. Anyone else notice (or want to test this)?
