We did see something similar and chalked it up to an electrical storm that
caused some interesting "brown out" conditions on campus.  It appeared that
there was a commercial power event, but the switches never completely lost
power.  For us, it hit 2 WS-C2960X-24PS-L switches on 15.0(2)EX5.  We lost
several phones and a couple of access points with the same power inline
IEEE PD signature.  One switch survived a power cycle, the other became a
boat anchor RMA'd by Cisco.  At the same time, two of the four access
points died, one on each switch.
