I think at least the movie showed that Palpatine believed what he was saying. I didn't get any sense of deception from him when he said it. He seemed entirely congruent. Admittedly that's hardly conclusive that it in fact happened, or that he was being congruent with his memory of actual events, and not a "Sith legend" as he characterized it.
As for the Jedi, if they were able to make themselves "more powerful than you can imagine", why didn't they just do it, instead of waiting to die? And is whispering in Luke's ear supposed to be "more power than you can imagine?
Perhaps, given that Anakin seems to have a vivid imagination, "more than you can imagine" means "inconceivable" ?
"Lord Vader, Skywalker has torpedoed the Death Star into oblivion, with guidance from beyond the grave!" "Inconceivable!"
