I agree, there are worse things to deal with right now; in fact, if the sync(s) have occurred and the storage has been cleanly unmounted before the shutdown hangs, the anomaly causing the machine to not completely powered off ( probably a PMIC setting) is not really even a problem unless you don't notice it !
If you notice you can simply force it on down with a long power button press.
The only really good way to know for sure whether this is harmful ( or even what is going on ) is to put a serial console on the pinebook and monitor the shutdown messages to see how far it gets before it hangs; my hypothesis is that the system finishes the shutdown completely, and the PMIC simply fails to power-off. Not the worst thing.
