Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

I get the same thing, though I never noticed it being a knob issue, which 
is definitely a possiblity.  Occasionally (70% of the time) when I power 
on the XL-7, the Preset on Channel 1A will show that it's dirtied.  Makes 
sense with what you say, since the Knobs default to Quick Edit mode on 
that channel upon power up.  No idea what's causing it, but I don't think 
it has anything to do with his issue (I could be wrong though).

Are you sure it's your Pattern getting dirtied, and not the Preset?

     Sometimes (especially when I first power up the XL-7), one of the 16 
knobs will suddenly send
its current value, essentially "dirtying" the pattern.  I can see this by 
the knob LED that lights
up.  Sometimes just changing to another pattern and back is how I fix 
this.  Other times, I just
switch from "Quick Edit" to "Volume" via the upper left hand button.  This 
is a hardware bug it
seems to me and may just be affecting my machine.  Perhaps this is what's 
happening to your
machine too?
