If there is a Windows process which has a handle on a file or directory
open, rm shows this behaviour occasionally.  e.g. try to run
rm -rf /path/to/directory
while having an explorer view open on this directory (or a subdirectory 
of directory).

It happens i.e. often for me when using the generic-build-script, if 
invoking with install or reconf which does rm -rf .build / .inst and
having an explorer shell open in one of the (sub)directories to be
removed from the script -> it seems to hang and it is always rm.

Maybe Reini can look into this issue, it seems he is already working
at the coreutils sources.  But I think it is a Windows feature and this 
is probably difficult to work around.
