Sound like pretty standard behavior of softupdates to me. Often files that were created within the last (memory fuzzy) seconds will be lost. I suspect in both cases the battery died right after an upgrade finished and portupgrade tweaked the +CONTENTS files of pretty much everything in order to update dependencies. I'd wager it's doing a create temp file/delete/rename dance. As far as I can tell, having files disappear is considered better than ending up with a corrupt filesystem, so sayeth the FS gods. It might be interesting to see how UFS+gjournal/ZFS stack up under similar circumstances.
