Shutdown forced by UPS

It is a typical Mac built-in forced shutdown: it does not depend on the UPS software, but it is the built-in UPS management software of MacOSX Tiger.
Since 10.4.9, Intel Macs (like mine) have a "shutdown -u" option (see man shutdown), that is actually used for UPS forced shutdowns (see the script /usr/libexec/upsshutdown).

So, given the above info, can you comment whether SD will leave the remote disk image safe (i.e., readable although incomplete) after an UPS shutdown?
