For the benefit of the list, it appears the answer to this was that
there is some confusion between "reasons the system might not want to
let me power off" and "inhibitors", and that Jayson was looking at
.power-off-ignore-inhibit while the real logind permission being tested
was .power-off-multiple-sessions.
