So that looks like a bug in the LDAP plugin (the plugin itself shuts 
down before the channels which depend on it). We'll get that fixed, but 
I doubt it's causing the problems you're seeing.

What happens if you attempt to shut down the service by issuing 
"rabbitmqctl stop" rather than stopping the Windows service?

Also, we fixed several bugs that could cause deadlocks during shutdown 
in 3.2.0, so it might be worth trying an upgrade.
