Yes, I have tried that. But it has no apparent effect when the computer is in that frozen state. (i.e. pressing ctrl+alt+F3 or whatever doesn't change what is on the screen.

One time I tried imagining that the terminal came up, and so I 'signed in' and tried to shut down without seeing anything on the screen. But it didn't work. ... but since I couldn't see anything, it's quite possible I just mistyped something. So I guess that's inconclusive.
