What worries me the most is thinking that Elektron did not notice something as obvious as this... (they were the ones who gave birth to the MD!). By the way, Elektron are also more convinced about hardware rather then software bug. Scary....!! As I mencioned on previous emails: work with the main outs only and its fine as long you do not hard pan kick drums or snares. It still is worthwhile in my opinion.
