I would use your oscilloscope and start tracing backwards from the voice board to (1) confirm that the VCO is being modulated by the MG signal (which seems obvious) and (2) to see where the unexpected MG signal is present and where it is not present.
For example, on KLM-366, you could go to one of the voices and probe the voltage on R152, which is receiving the pitch CV for that voice. One side of R152 should show zero volts. The other side should show a DC value (related to the note you're playing) along with the MG modulation. Is it there? If so, you've just confirmed that the problem is indeed present on this line. Good.
Now, start moving backwards...
On KLM-396, probe the voltage at R3 (either side should be fine). Do you see the modulation signal there? Again, in a properly-working synth, you should not see it. On yours, you probably do. So, you're still on the right trail.
Back up some more...On KLM-367, probe pin 7 on IC1 (it's on the right side of the schematic, labeled "VCO Mod". Is your modulation signal there? If it was on KLM-396, it also ought to be at pin 7.
Now, backing up again, you've got two places to check: (1) check R9 and (2) check R11. One side of R9 should be zero and one side might have your MG signal. The same is true for R11...one side should be zero and one side might have your MG signal. Your MG signal is probably not on both. On which resistor does it appear?
If it is on R11, it's probably the switching IC that is just upstream of R11 that is broken (is it IC1? its name is right on the fold of the paper). When your MG is switched away from "VCO", that IC should prevent the MG signal from going to the VCO. If it were broken in a way that let the MG signal through all the time, you'd get the effect that you're reporting.
Alternatively, if your MG signal is not on R11 but is on R9, you'll have to keep chasing it backwards through the schematic.
