This blocking (called "logon delay") will appear only as long as:

1. wpkg.js runs commands, *AND*
2. logon delay still didn't pass

This means that if you have a broken installer that got stuck and hangs 
for user input, and you set logon delay to 90 minutes, the logon delay 
will block user for 90 minutes.
On the other hand, if installation is quick and takes only 1 minute, it 
will block logon only for 1 minute.

What's your logon delay in WPKG Client? I guess it's bigger than 1 hour? 
And it hangs probably on psshutdown "accept window" you're talking about 
earlier.

To debug it, set "show GUI" in WPKG Client, decrease logon delay, and 
use /debug instead of /quiet for wpkg.js - you should see where it got 
stuck.

There are also some badly written applications which install fine from 
Administrator account, but show errors or unexpected behaviour when 
started from an account which has a name other than Administrator (other 
administrator, SYSTEM user etc.), and that could be your other problem 
(or, you accepted psshutdown license as Administrator, but not as SYSTEM 
etc.).

I've no idea. I don't use that tool.
When Microsoft acquired Sysinternals, they introduced this helpful 
"accept license", which seems to confuse everyone.

With WPKG Client, you don't need to use this tool; WPKG Client can 
reboot perfectly fine.
