I don't know for sure, but every urban legend needs to get started somewhere right? :-)
thinking about it from a practical standpoint, at one point drives had very small buffers (ram was too expensive, and too large to put much on a drive) along with a lot of rotating mass, so it would have been possible to flush that buffer immediatly on power-loss (and the tolorances of the data on disk were loose enough to accept the slight distortion that would result).
