I'm surprised you're having that problem. It did exist on early prototypes, but back around firmware version 00.23 I added an anti-false-knob-rotation algorithm for the QSY function. It keeps track of the last six MKR A or MKR B values during knob rotation and the time each one occurred. When the knob is tapped, it assumes any knob rotation in the last 200 ms is not "real" and uses the last value before that. So any knob rotation for 200 ms before the tap is ignored. I do plan to add a MENU item to assign the knob tap to a FN key, but I'm hoping nobody uses it! If there's a problem with the operation of the knob switch I want to fix it so people don't have to do that. By the way, there were some improvements in the knob decoding algorithm and MKR A and MKR B operation in versions 00.30 and 00.31, so you probably want to be sure you have the latest firmware. I think 00.32 is the current release.
