[Elecraft] A KX3 Oddity when Changing LED BRT setting in Menu

This may be new or may have been there all along, 
because while I do Backlight Off when operating 
outdoors, I don't think I've changed the 
brightness until today.

So I'm running though the menu looking for 
something else and come to the LED BRT item and 
wonder what the different brightnesses look like. 
But I found that turning the main dial has the 
following effect:

  * LED backlight goes off
  * TX light goes on (but KX3 does not appear to
    be in TX mode); the other three LEDs come on, too.
  * This is the same light combo I see transiently
    at KX3 power on.
  * The LED BRT does respond to moving the main
    dial to set it.
  * Leaving menu turns off the LEDs and turns the
    backlight back on.

Is this normal behavior? If not, what should I do 
next?
