Usually such devices have some power monitoring which indicates power
failure long before the worst case scenarios you described actually occur. I
could imagine the manufacturers just live with that.

Provided you can spare a CF card, you could take any such device and
manually induce a power failure while there is a write operation in
progress.

Regards,
Marius
