The machine is not broken, the filter is not broken, the samples are
fine.  The only thing that could be considered "wrong" would be preset
design, in that they chose to turn up Q a little too high for that
preset.  But who's to say that the preset designer didn't *want* a
click?

That's a red herring.  I get the problem without any other tracks.

It could be considered a feature depending on your point of view. 
Being able to create that much energy with a resonant filter is a good
thing in many situations.

That filter is great, you don't have to discontinue it's use.  It
however is *very* peaky as you've noticed.  Simply turn down Q till you
get the desired effect.  The MS20 samples apparrently have some energy
exactly where that filter has a lot of resonance, hence the pop.
