I've had a UPS for at least the last 5 years (not the same one) since
power here is iffy even at the best of times. At the moment I use an APC

still doesn't survive power outages even though the other stuff on the
UPS (monitor, DSL modem, router, printer) all do. I've checked the earth
(ground) connection and it looks OK, and the UPS light shows green, i.e.
all OK. The UPS is only a year old so it can't be the battery.

It could be the time it take to switch between line power and battery. It tends to be more common with fully loaded power supplies. There is not enough reserve in the filter caps or something to carry over the loss of a cycle or two. A UPS that will also compensate for line voltage tends to have less of a problem with this because there isn't the abrupt changeover.
