I fired up Postgres and looked at the logs for any signs of failure.

No, didn't do that. My next check will be done over the network
(similar to diskchecker), with a script that fires off requests, waits
for them to be confirmed committed, and then records a local copy, and
will check that local copy once the server's back up again. That'll
tell me if transactions are being lost.

I'm kinda feeling my way in the dark here. Will check out the
aggregates on pgbench_history when I get to work today; thanks for the
tip!
