The other problem I've had with the AF540 is you can't set it the way you
want it and have it stay there. If it powers down, it reverts to full power
when you wake it back up.
Funny, there's a problem I haven't had. I often use my 540& 360,
together, on manual settings, as studio strobes for product
photography. I can set them up, work for a while, leave them to power
off on their own, and then return the next day& they're on the same
settings as before when they power up.
Go figure!
So they're off-camera? I think therein lies the diff.
If if "goes to sleep" while plugged into the PTTL connection (ie, hotshoe) on the camera,
"waking it up" will set it to PTTL mode.

And it's worth noting that these flashes, when set to wireless slaves,
will not power off until after an hour of non-use. So you don't tend to
ever see the "revert to default P-TTL" behaviour when working with remotes.
Think of it as Pentax reminding you the off-camera flash is to be
preferred. :-)
