I had been meaning to post this on here, but never got around to it. Your theory re: the high trigger point seems solid. Since it was only this one note, I hadn't got round to investigating fixing it yet, I thought it was a problem with the sample.
Let me know if replacing the rubber contact strip works, and if you find any issues with calibration.
I was able to tell it wasn't the sample, by transposing the sound by one octave. The problem key stayed the same, but the pitch I heard was obviously a different sample. If you try that, you can establish that the problem is with the key itself. Good luck, hopefully it is the same issue.
Basically I think playing the particular song on those keys quite heavily, has worn out (or flattened) the rubber contacts on the rubber strip itself. This leads to a note trigger 'off' event somehow being created before the key is released. The low release trigger point is VERY low, I only need to lift the key about 3 mm on the clav sound for it to stop. Other sounds it is more like 7 mm. I guess it is quite sensitive.
Try connecting a midi cable directly from the OUT to the IN socket and switch LOCAL 'off'. You should find the issue dissapears. Because I don't think the 'Low' trigger off messages are transmitted via MIDI.
