I was playing with my (+ 4) at work this morning and if you interrupt the self test mode by pushing on the switch it will come on and you can not turn it off until you take out the battery

Yes, if you interupt it soon enough, the broken switch mode is activated until the next reset.

The switch is tested on reset. When a dome switch fails, it typically fails in the closed posistion. If the switch is closed on reset, the light assumes the switch has failed and activates the light at the secondary brightness. This allows you to continue using the light even if the switch is broken.

If you wait a little longer after reset and interupt the RFS (rising levels), the light will shut off and act normally.
