A power issue and networking issues are not mutually exclusive, it could very well be that networking equipment is on a separate power delivery circuit from the actual servers.
Yes, sorry I didn't mean to imply that Linode were lying about the cause!
I look forward to their full postmortem about the issue (they promised that after the first outage, but the second happened before they'd published anything).
