This is most likely because it is mains powered at the time you switch it on,
you need to "tap" the button when it is battery powered only.

afiak the two have identical chips, so windows SHOULDN'T care which is
plugged - but I would certainly blame the windows driver for this problem,
not the device.

I have heard of a selection of windows drivers for the hitachi chip - it
may be worth trying another - but I can be of no help as to where to obtain
these drivers, fwiw I *did* read the info on this mailing list though.
