While the arrays were powered off in both cases, it was well after the
original problem was observed, so I would have expected the array to
flush the cache by then.

In any event, the biggest issue is that I'm left with a totally
unrecoverable filesystem.  On these filesystems I can live with
"something strange happened and you lost some files", but in this case
it's "something strange happened you lost 1TB".
