(I'm assuming this experiment has been done with no USB connection between the IOIO and the PC, i.e. a "cold" boot)
This is definitely not the behavior of a good board. Either something in the hardware or in the bootloader firmware is messed up. If you have a second IOIO or a PIC programmer you can try re-programming the bootloader on this board. Otherwise, I'd return the board to wherever you bought it from, sounds defective.
