OK replying to my own post but anyway....

The problem surfaced between 3.0a3 and 3.0a5. Something fairly drastic changed between the two with regards to playlists. When going from either a3 to a5 OR a5 to a3, the playlist is completely lost and the empeg starts with [-/-] 0:00.

a3 reliably remembers the playlist over a power down.
a5 reliably doesn't remember the playlist over a power down.

NB: All these tests were done on AC power in a Mark Lord dock.
