You probably know this and I apologize if this has been mentioned anywhere. I just got a watt meter and have been running everything through it, mainly to find out which power supplies are most efficient. The Pogoplug didn't surprise me at 4.6 watts normal (6 watts rare peak), but when I used putty and commanded poweroff, the session ended and Pogoplug went from 4.6 watts to 4.5! The ethernet port is still lit but USB stick light is off.
this is ArchLinux installed and maybe this explains some of the boot corruption.
If you know of a better shutdown command than poweroff, I'll try it and see.
-update- with Pogo "off" and drawing 4.5 watts, I unplugged the Ethernet and it's drawing 4 watts. Remove USB stick and it goes down to 3.5 watts!
