I have a few questions / suggestions:

1. Do you mean you press Shift, release it, press b, release it and press v,
all in quite quick succession, or do you mean Shift+b (so, a capital B),
release both, and then press v?

It would be good to know what you are trying to type at the time this occurs.

2. Does the same thing occur if you plug in an external keyboard and type the
same things on that?

3. What does syslog say as the machine shuts down (tail the file in one window
while you type in another, or else SSH from somewhere else to watch the file as
you type the magic combination)?

4. Does it also happen in Beowulf (try a Live CD if you don't still have that
installed as dual-boot)?
