Jason,

Not to worry - it has always been that way, and all of them will do that 
too.
The uP lines that drive the LED display are shared with other functions, 
and even after the LED is 'blanked', these other functions will still be 
active and the LED segments will have a bit of a 'glow' to them as a 
result.  If you don't want to see it, then always run the KX1 in a 
lighted room :-) .  Normally that effect can only be seen in the dark 
unless one has very good eyes.

73,
