Le Potato fails to reboot when running headless

I'm running Raspbian 11 on Le Potato, and when I try to reboot, it often gets wedged in this state until I cycle the power:
    pi@exhale:~ $ sudo reboot
    Connection to 192.168.1.229 closed by remote host.
    Connection to 192.168.1.229 closed.
    ...
    $ ssh [email protected]
    ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.229 port 22: Connection refused

With a serial console on 2J1, this is the final output:
    [  OK  ] Reached target Shutdown.
    [  OK  ] Reached target Final Step.
    [  OK  ] Finished Reboot.
    [  OK  ] Reached target Reboot.

This only seems to happen when running headless (nothing connected to the HDMI port).  I can hack around the problem with a hard reboot:
    $ echo b | sudo tee /proc/sysrq-trigger

But that's no help when the system is already wedged.  Any ideas?

(I bought this thing because it's still available and fits the RPi3 case, but I can't seem to do anything without stepping on rakes.)
