Not a bad list of indicators. I think it should be noted that these indicators are not indicative of 'stubborness' when read in isolation. Verbal, vocal and non-verbal communication may conflict for a variety of reasons. Nervousness may be a cause of crossed arms, stubbornness or even the subject being cold; the subject may just feel comfortable crossing his/her arms.

What I'm trying to say in a nutshell is that you need to consider these indicators if/when they come in clusters and not necessarily in isolation. Still, this list is a good start.

Nice. A lot of these actually reminded me of the way I act when I’m frustrated…walking away, tight jaw, etc. I love your whole thesaurus idea *thumbs up*

Subtle facial gestures can also portray stubbornness. For instance, a cock of the eyebrow or an eyeroll.

I favor fingers-in-ears-saying-“Lalalalala–I can’t HEAR YOU!”
