I have repeated the test, this time with all leds turned off, and the blinking amber problem occurs. This time simply unplugging and plugging the WAX610 to the same switch port resolves the blinking amber.

 

So with the WAX610, at least the hardware versions I have, and either firmware versions V9.3.0.6 or V9.5.1.20, all leds need to be turned on, for a reboot or power cycle to work!
