No clue, sorry. To my feelings you are right in your expectations.
Although a power failure with a voltage peak an do crazy things.
Fortunately my server survived all power failures my co-location
provider had last year. Even no hard filessystem failures. The box
always came back up without any effect. Good old RH 7.2 with ext3 :)
While I heard that harddrives were carried out in cardboard boxes - I
mean really a lot of damaged drives - for customers with much less luck
then me. * fingers crosses*
