Startup SETUP key option considered ineffective

I love Eventide since forever (or since my old DSP4000 made VSIG the only thing for me).  Today my main machine is my H8000FW (that I upgraded from Orville to H8000A to H8000FW).  I'm writing because this week, since I upgraded my H8000FW from OS 5.2 to 5.3, I finally found the time to reproduce this behavior I've seen in previous versions, I'm only reproducing it here now.

My favorite SETUP is this –
– I select ROUTING to the factory "12 ADAT 1-2".
– I select SETUP clock to incoming ADAT (supplied by my TC Electronic Gold Channel).
– I select BYPASS of both machine and system to "dsp bypass".
– I select LEVELS to remote the outputs Post D/A Gain to Pedal 1.
– The Pedal 1 jack is wired to a 10K pot on my rack front panel.

I saved that in the SETUP Storage area.
And for this report, DSP A and B have the default "10 H8000 Banks".
Now I'll try clearing the presently loaded SETUP two ways –

THIS IS EFFECTIVE –
– On the SETUP [service] page, I select "clear setup".
– The EXT LED flashes because there's no sync.
– The SETUP clock page shows source Internal.
– The BYPASS reverts to the factory default "system: rly bypass".
– The LEVELS outputs page shows Post D/A gain does not respond to Pedal 1.

Good, that cleared the loaded SETUP!
Then I can reload my favorite SETUP, then everything works fine!

THIS IS INEFFECTIVE –
– I hold the SETUP key held down on startup (until it says "Release key now").
– The EXT LED is still solid because the sync to ADAT is still fine.
– The SETUP clock page shows clock source is still ADAT.
– The BYPASS still has my setting "system: dsp bypass".
– The LEVELS outputs page shows Post D/A Gain still responds to my pot.

So I find that starting up my H8000FW with the SETUP key held down has no effect.  That's OK for me, but for people trying to report a problem, if they report they did a clear SETUP, maybe their actions didn't clear the presently loaded SETUP if they really used the startup SETUP key option.
