Won't boot if dock is drained

[mbegel]

If the dock battery is completely drained then I've noticed two problems:

o a reboot of the tablet while docked causes a boot loop; the tablet reboots normally when not docked
o touch control on the tablet is very bad when the tablet is plugged into the drained dock

Neither of these problems occurs when the dock has non-zero battery or is plugged into the charger. I'm on firmware .47 and haven't unlocked. While I manually updated to .47, this occurred several boot cycles prior to first noticing this problem. I have factory reset since and have not logged back into Google to avoid complicating debugging. I have not yet called ASUS.

Does anyone else have this issue or is it a hardware problem with my tablet/dock?

I suspect this is due to the same problem many others have with the faulty port on the tablet. So many users have problems with that port - just look through the threads....I would return it for a full refund and wait a few months. Asus really screw** up this release!
I was one click short of ordering the TF701 - now I'm going to wait and see if they can fix the QC (or maybe even design!) issues...
