sounds a bit like that the capaciators for the
powersupply are to small in the MD.. this is no
surprise becuase there is probably not much
space...and high capacity micro caps are very
expensiv... 
...its however maybe an idea for a mod...
As long there is still garanty i wont open my MD...but
once its over i will check if this can be optimized..
i did it in the past with other machines..and its
funny when they hold playing 1 or two seconds after
you switched them off...

had problems with a K2000 in the past that allways was
loosing sample ram on stage because of little power
drops that was totally ignored from a akai s1100...
when the capaciators become so big that the machine
keeps running for a second after being disconnected
from the mains you are pretty safe...
the usuall powerfluctuations on stage are much
shorter...
