Can't fully disable "ASUS cover" magnet feature (572c)

I bought a folio case with magnet. However, when I fold it around the back (flush) the magnet triggers the Memopad's sensor and shuts it off.
I unchecked Settings -> ASUS customize settings -> Enable ASUS cover. The folio no longer triggers standby when closing from the front.

Something strange happens when the cover is wrapped around the back. The act of wrapping around the back does not trigger sleep (on or off). However, when the case is wrapped around the back:
- If the tablet is off, swiping at the lock screen unlocks the tablet, but it immediately turns it off.
- If the tablet is on, doing any action on the touchscreen turns the tablet off, except for . . .
- . . . pressing the home or return icons freezes the tablet until I move the cover.

The 'ASUS cover' toggle appears to be working correctly. The Memopad seems to wig out when a magnet is placed behind it.

Can anyone else reproduce this?
