>I have an FT1000MP and am experiencing the following problem.

How about on CW?
>Yes still there

How OLD an MP is this unit?
>1997

All bands? Does 15m seem worse than other?
>All Bands 
>15 not any worse

Does it go away at low (say <5 watts) RF power levels?
>Yes reduces considerably

If it's an early one, then some of the grounding contacts between
some of the internal stages might be getting "less than optimum"?
>Will check it out

There's an Yaesu factory bulletin from way back then, that had you
improve some of the grounding between different stages to cure
some RFI type of problems. Added some double sided tape and
improved one or two other grounding point among other changes.

Just a thought ...
