Hmm, I'm seeing the same thing, but only when charging my battery, and then indeed
does not spin down completely, but it does step down from vacuum cleaner mode to
something more pleasant after the machine was loaded for a while and returns back
to idle.

Also it spins up to its slowest speed by jut using the charger, so I think it is
just bleeding of heat caused by the charging hardware in this case (for me).

That could be the case.

I'm afraid I cannot help there, maybe someone else on the list can ...
