Hi.

I had the same thoughts after examining the case, and the only thing that I 
could figure is that somehow something arced under the panel and her finger 
on the button happened to be on the receiving end.  Maybe some type of dust 
accumulation or something.

I tried a couple of experiments last night.  First, I plugged the radio 
into a GFI to see if it would trip it.  It didn't.  Next, I tried touching 
the bottom plate (which is metal) to see if there was an electrical current 
there.  Usually, even if you don't have a particularly good path to ground, 
if something is electrified you will feel a little buzz, something like a 
weaker version of the cell phone on vibrate.  Nothing.  As far as I can 
tell, the case is cold, and the radio appears to operate normally at my place.

I don't detect any kind of a burnt smell and a careful inspection of the 
insulation on the power cord shows that it is intact.  So, now I really am 
not sure what to think.
