I think that originally she said in the notes that one scene was inspired by a book that she couldn't remember the author of, when it turned out that she knew exactly who the author was, and that the scene was exact copy.
There's a pretty thorough write-up of the whole thing here (http://www.journalfen.net/community/bad_penny/8985.html), by someone who was in the fandom at the time it happened. It's obviously biased toward the "yes, she did plagiarize" side of things, but it's the most comprehensive account of it that I've seen so far.
