How can a powercut cause mayhem like this? Supposing I am away on
business or on holiday and a powercut occurs? Do the neighbours have
to suffer (for 20 minutes?) until I return in two weeks? Or do the
police break in and steal all my arthouse movies?

Sounds like there's no back up battery - or it's flat. A power cut
shouldn't set an alarm off. Or alter its state.
