So, I just went back and took a look at the code (it's been years) and here's a rundown of what the three init methods do.
 
Restore Multisetup:
    reset all master parameters
        every setting in the Global menu (except tuning tables)
        every setting in the Controllers menu
         every setting in the Arp menu (except user arp patterns)
         every setting in the MIDI menu (except prog change to preset map)
     reset all channel parameters
        vol, pan, preset, arp status for all 32 channels

Init User Data except Seq:
    all of restore multisetup, plus
    overwrite all user presets with factory presets!
     erase all user arp patterns
    reset all tuning tables
    reset the program change to preset map

Init User Data:
    all of Init User Data except Seq, plus
    erase (not reset!) all patterns and songs (leaves them blank!)

As you can see, the diagnostic init methods don't do much more than restore multisetup, except that they get rid of user data like user presets, user arps, and all sequences.  They're really not meant to fix problems, they're meant to provide a way to erase all the previous owner's stuff.  Really, they're there only to provide a way to initialize the unit on the factory floor.  For all but reseting the user data, restore Factory Multisetup will do what you want (there's a reason it's called factory!)
