I've not had that problem with any of my kit - got lots of LD11 and AD10's
and Comfort - not a peep or photon emitted after a power restore :-)

It's a rarity, but last nite our road had a very brief brief power cut
around
2:30 am.
How do I know this?
Power goes off. All burglar alarms in the area think a burglar has cut the
mains wiring so they start going off :(
Power comes back on - my doorbell (aka X10 chime) rings and the downstairs
lights all come on :-((
Why god why do manufacturers have stupid power on defaults???
Okay, the alarms are fair enough, but why make an X10 chime well, chime,
when
power is applied for the 1st time & why do futronix lighting
controllers come
on when power is applied for the 1st time?
SWMBO was NOT amused. :(
Nor was I come to that ;)
Lets go back to candles, door knockers and keeping an eye out for anyone
suspicious eh? Would make for a far quieter life :D
