I read a thread on PPW where a similar instance happened to an Air Force Tanker.

Basically what happened is that the anti-icing fuel additives where not added and the fuel gelled up at altitude in the cold atmosphere. They did an idle decent and when they went to add power NOTHING happened.

Once again it is speculation. It is going to be interesting.
