I had the same bug, and in my case, I manually stopped the
plexmediaserver (which I had manually installed) before trying to
shutdown. This solved the problem. My guess is that there is a daemon
process running as a user that gnome-session sees as being logged in.
I'm not sure how gnome-session determines which user sessions are safe
to terminate, but stopping this process let my machine shutdown and
reboot normally.

I'm not really sure this is a bug with gnome-session so much as it is a
bug with other packages starting daemons that show up as actual users.

Title:
  "Restart" logs out, even when there are no other people logged in

Status in The Session Menu:
  Invalid
Status in Unity Foundations:
  Invalid
Status in “gnome-session” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Trying to restart the computer from within a unity session causes the
  session to log out, instead of actually restarting the computer.

  1. Boot up oneiric
  2. Log in
  3. Click on the Power button obscured by a tiny gear on the top and far right of the screen
  4. Click "Shutdown..."
  5. When asked, "Are you sure you want to close all programs and shut down the computer?", select "Restart" (it's on the bottom left of the dialog)

  Instead of restarting, you will be logged out.
