I don't know (operative words here I guess ) but it sounds like alot more than a 1/4 of a percent THD happening to me... is this how your unit behaves as well?
Definately not working properly... I can hit redline in 1:1 without any gain reduction occurring, regardless of attack or release settings. That goes for both of my units as well as others i've used (I do Dist 3 1:1 all the time on guitars).
