First of all, I would quickly try if the crash on shutdown goes away
when you use the "nv" or the "vesa" driver. (Just to make sure that we
only have to worry about the nvidia driver and nothing else.)
That being said, I think these are the relevant lines from your Xorg
log:
-------------------------

-------------------------
The Xorg glx module is loaded instead of the one from nvidia. How did
you install the nvidia driver, from the Debian packages or with the
installer from nvidia's website?
To make sure that the nvidia glx module is installed properly, post the
output of:
ls -l /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/
