I shutdown the Pi and when it had, turned off its power at the switch on the
socket strip. This caused the green-LED fluttering I mentioned before. I then
disconnected the HDMI cable from my Mac (the cable that goes to the other
input of the KVM unit). The green and red LEDs on the Pi then went out.

So it's my Mini that's doing this, but that is perhaps not surprising given
what I've learnt in this thread.
