It is possible that a process is still running on a filesystem which has prevented it from being unmounted properly. Debian (IIRC) handles this case by doing a second pass to remount any remaining filesystems after the unmount pass as read-only. I've not seen any other distros implement this behaviour. I have seen this one crop up from time to time however, so its not entirely out of the realms of probability. Another possibility is caches/buffers not being flushed to disk completely before the reset/power-down occurs, however this is a definately shouldn't happen case.
