Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with the power button set to “Ask” and compare it with opening the dialog from the menu. Read the reported cinnamon-session-binary syslog message and trace the power-button path that launches the end-session dialog. Done means the power button shows only the Clutter dialog without the approximately 60-second freeze or GTK fallback.

Issue
When the power button is set to "Ask" (in Power Management - When the power button is pressed), when the button is pressed, the entire system will freeze for ~60 seconds then pop up BOTH the new Clutter dialog and the old GTK dialog. The following is found in the syslog:
cinnamon-session-binary[1829]: CRITICAL: t+890.86122s: Failed to launch Cinnamon's end session dialog, falling back to Gtk end-session dialog: Timeout was reached
Steps to reproduce
Set power button behavior to "Ask" then press the power button
Expected behaviour
Clutter dialog only appears
Other information
It is only when pressing the power button that both dialogs will appear. If the dialog is opened by some other means (e.g. the menu), only the Clutter dialog shows.
