No, just resetting it doesn't. If there is something wrong in the

That's good to know, but I would've sworn I'd read somewhere on this
list that pressing the PMU reset multiple time, or holding it down,
would drain the battery. That might just apply to G4's, though.
If the strip was overloaded the circuit breaker would have tripped.
If there was something wrong with the strip you would have likely
seen other symptoms.
More than likely what fixed things was pulling the plug and plugging
it back in again. There are some problems in computers that only
get cleared by completely disconnecting power.
Pulling the plug was SOP in the iMac G3 labs I worked in.
Macs aren't my forte, but the logic doesn't look good. Whenever I
reset the PMU (which was at least 3 times), I always unplugged the G5
as instructed by Apple docs. Now there was a long delay before I
finally plugged it into the other outlet, so perhaps a delay of 30
minutes was long enough to clear something.
