I noticed this also.  

After first loading 2.037 yesterday, I thought there was a bug, and that AGC
was OFF in all settings.  I finally went in to the SLOW setting and dropped
the decay speed to the 1-5 range.  Once I fiddled with that a bit, the
"fast" slow AGC slowed down, AND I could tell there was a difference between
the other (MED, FAST, OFF) etc. settings

This happened twice, the second time after the radio had been sitting idle
but powered on for several hours.

If there's a bug lurking in there somewhere, I have not been able to get it
to reproduce again.  I did not observe the same behavior on the v2 Orion
with 2.059-- only on the Orion II at 2.037.

I agree with you, that it helps to add just a little AGC hang.
