I think what you, I, and golfer are talking about is pretty much the same thing - an extra system startup routine that gets executed for some reason. Whether that is a memory purge or a self-check or something else remains to be seen.

I haven't noticed anyone posting about doing a BCM reflash, but I can't read all the posts.

I just read over NTB12-041 again and I can't tell for sure if the two are related or not. The startup symptoms are the same, but I don't remember anyone reporting that they couldn't shut the engine off with an SLU failure. But I've read a lot of SLU posts and may have flushed that particular piece of info.
It would be interesting to find out if they are related or not. If someone has been unable to shutdown because of SLU failure, I would consider that to be strong evidence for.
