Took ages but I finally had some time to investigate on this again.
And in case you (or somebody else) still needs an answer:

You have to set the following variable in /etc/default/voyage-util

VOYAGE_SYNC_RECOVER="YES"

(You still have to do "remountrw; /etc/init.d/voyage-sync sync;
remounto;" on a regular basis though. But the files get recovered in a
case of power-loss or unclean reboot.)

Rodney already pointed this out in the Wiki. I added the variable to
make things a bit clearer.
