It's making me think you really do have a DOA unit.  Can you repeat each 
test several times and see if your results are repeatable?  You results 
only make sense if the EC is totally out of wack.

In particular, getting a green power LED on startup (without pushing the 
power button) is odd, and getting a green power LED without a battery 
LED flash first is _very_ odd.
