the most obvious cause could be Wake-on-Lan, that leaves a part of the
system active (specifically, the network card). With the "ethtool"
program you can queary and set the state of this.

My network card have option WOL "disabled"

# ethtool eth0 | grep Wake
Supports Wake-on: pg
Wake-on: d

Similarly, but less likely, there is wake-on-serial and wake-on-usb, in
theory those are possible too but I've yet to see one of those on any
of my machines.

# cat /proc/acpi/wakeup

I test two times as commented in [1] and I can see that this problem
don't hapen if, before shutdown, I close LCD Display (activing LID to
hibernate).

[1] <http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10797#c1>

So, to shutdown laptop with no battery change, is necessary:

1) Active LID (closing LCD Display). With this, my laptop will
hibernate, so is necessary wake-up again.
2) Shutdown
