Yes, but does it really matter. We expect something strange at
startup anyway.

Well, for the devices we build at my place of work, random flashing at
power-up like that would eventually put us out of business. Customers
will not accept such glitches, period.

I can't image what application would be so mission critical at power
up, but I'll take your words for it. For us, we only power up the
device once, when we install the batteries. The power button is
really talking the uC out of standby. Our device goes into standby
after 2 minuties of idle time. That way, a button cell battery can
last for a few hundred days.
