This is not about pulling power during writes. Flush is supposed to force all non-committed (i.e. cached) writes to complete. Once that has been acknowledged there is no need for any further writes. So those drives are effectively lying about having completed the flush. I also have to wonder when they intended to write the data...
Also well known for many years.
It's even in the manuals for some enterprise products.
