Probably not a bug, but need a confirmation.

I was AFK, and my base went complete blackout for several hours (but survived until every single bit of pollution was gone).
After I made a recovery, I noticed that logistic network names were reset to defaults. I assume this is caused by network ceasing to exist because it has no active roboports, and after recovery a new network is formed.

Note to other developers who might work in this, this is one of the reasons why logistics networks didn’t get names when the GUI was first added. They are not persistent and go away as roboports lose power or are split/merged.

If this is to be fixed, i can suggest making each roboport remember the name of its network, and when a new network is formed, if all roboports have either no name, or the same name, that name is chosen for a new network's name.
