Yes some stereos can act goofy. It could be some AC ripple or surges. Over voltage is possible but I would not suspect that. Others have mentioned finding their stereos turned on mysteriously. I too had an rv with that happening.
Since you are not likely completely turning the device off, that is it uses voltage to keep things alive in memory, it could be sensitive to the converter kicking into high gear.
Now lets suppose you disconnect from shoreline for a few weeks and let the rv sit idle. There could be a chance the stereo could slowly drain your battery. I do not know the size of your battery bank but a single battery system could be an issue.
I would first check the wires for any loose connections to power and then if those are fine, install a real power off switch to isolate the critter completely.
