The iLiad does the same thing, a reset doesn't blank the screen. It confuses a lot of people though, because they think that because the screen still has an image on it that the reset didn't work. They don't realize the device really has been reset.
This is also why they intentionally blank the screen when you hit the power switch. Technically eInk can keep the same static image on the screen when it's turned off, but the manufacturers of the devices decided not to do it that way. People found it too confusing.
I don't know for sure about the DR, but I assume it has the same behavior.
