I had this issue last week - I'm pretty sure it was because I, when 
turning off the device, had accidentally held a finger on the hardware 
touch button below the screen long enough for the numbers to appear in 
the launcher. At least I could reproduce the issue afterwards like this:

1. Hold the touch button until the launcher icon numbers appear
2. Press the power button to turn off the device
3. Device would immediately turn back on

So mind how you hold the device while turning it off... (IMO the MX4 
power button is a bit awkward to operate so it's tempting to hold the 
device by the bottom to have something to press against.)

I could fix the issue by pressing the power button while the launcher 
was visible, but before the numbers had appeared. I've now switched to 
rc-proposed and can't reproduce the issue anymore.
