That is interesting. There must even be a connection Google is seeing in the content of the links pointing to the site that is down. I have links from pages with PRank of 6-7 but Google is not giving me credit for them I've been thinking because the links are on pages that are dissimilar in content to that on my site. It's not only important to get inbound links but only inbound links from pages with similar content (or at least similar link descriptions) as in this case.
"There must even be a connection Google is seeing in the content of the links pointing to the site that is down." - that is the strangest part, this site is not down, there is just a 500 error in the header (this certainly made it difficult to even see there was a problem). I've never seen something like this before, since usually a 500 error will make the server return the 500 error page.
