The idea is that after doing some initial administration using 'zlogin -C', the "~." sequence was used to quit it.  This terminates the ssh session rather than the zone console login.  While subsequent 'zlogin -C' works, it may be that the unclean/violent termination of the zone console login has left behind residue which prevents the zone from shutting down.

Dumb questions:  which ssh client, and which ssh server?

It's highly possible the process you have simply backgrounds once ssh quits.  Knowing which server + client combo may help... especially given that you now have OpenSSH doing a lot more in recent OmniOS updates.
