Hey NEODan!
If you go back and edit that post to instead claim that this thread was all an April Fool's Day joke, I promise I won't tell a soul.
Glad you got most of the mystery resolved!
It's been a while since I tried this, but there was a time when Fusion was rather uncomfortably incompatible with Mac OS's hibernate-to-disk feature, so maybe that is the explanation for some of the bizarre behavior immediately after power was restored. Maybe?
Cheers,
