I don't think a system upgrade will go ahead without power lead connection, as loss of battery power half way through would brick it. Waiting long enough for a system upgrade is justo one of those thing; I just go away and come back hours later when I know it's as done as it'll get. But once, it got tired of waiting for me and ran in some absolutely generic mode with nothing set.

Having said this, it is always best practice to empty the app switcher and doing a restart of the phone before doing an upgrade and it is not a bad idea to have the phone plugged in when you do an iOS upgrade. If there is lots of juice left it shouldn't be a problem, but maybe you forgot that you only had 15% left. If that happens and you start an upgrade and half way through the phone dies it is probably not a good thing. The lack of any sort of feedback during part of the over the air upgrade process is the reason why I simply prefer to update via iTunes, at least I get to hear the various USB disconnect and connect sounds as well as check on the status of the update with Jaws. if I do a restart because I think something isn't working right, I always empty the app switcher as well. Keep in mind that if your phone is turned off and you plug in the cable it will turn itself on automatically after the normal boot time. Lastly, if you do turn your phone off it does probably not hurt a bit to hold the power button down for 4 or 5 seconds as many here pointed out, but it also isn't necessary. Push the button and hold it for a second or so, think "one one thousand" if you like as you push it, then let it go. Your phone will boot up and depending on the model at the end of 20 to 30 seconds you will hear Voiceover come on.
