Wrong macro running at startup, potential safety issue

I have an X50 running a BB with 1.4.2 firmware. Twice now at startup I have selected my typical park rear macro after homing. Twice now when selecting this my 7th macro starts running a spindle warmup instead, even while showing the code loaded for positioning. While I practice keeping anything clear of the bit while idle, this presents a safety issue in my opinion. I have contacted support for their their thoughts, just curious if anyone else has experienced this? I have been wanting to justify the upgrade expense to elite since I have had a variety of issues with the BB controller, but I am getting a little gun shy each time another “issue” comes up. Those of you that have had experience with both the masso and the BB, feel free to chime in on your experiences as far as usability, issues and reliability goes. I just hesitate to jump if I will end up with this continuum of wondering if all will run well each day. I will add, when this machine is running it runs well aside from this recent issue and an ongoing issue with motor oscillation which I think I have isolated to a noisy output signal on the M2 port on the BB controller.

Appreciate any response!

I wanted to follow up as I noted this as a potential safety issue. In working with support I realized I had entered the units code, G21, after the move code, G0 followed by coordinates for X/Y for park rear. I have moved G21 to the first line as good practice is units prior to movement. As this has been an intermittent issue, I will make an effort to post any result when/if it occurs again.
