Weird.  If you connect a MIDI out to a computer or something, is it
spewing MIDI too?

From what I can tell, it seems that the front panel board is spuriously
generating MIDI messages.  Try turning off rechannelize MIDI and see
what happens.  If you turn on keypads transmit MIDI and turn off local
control, you should coerce the unit to send whatever MIDI it would have
sent to the synth/sequencer to the MIDI out instead.  Then you could
use MIDI-Ox or SendSYSEX on a PC or MIDISpy on a Mac to see what actual
data is flooding.

I'm not sure what it'll tell you, but all signs seem to point to a bad
front panel board.

PS. if you do get a MIDI dump, you can mail it to me off list, though I
might not be able to help.
