The manual states -20dB muting, so its not completely shut off.
I am sorry to have to do this to you, but you are going to have to buzz out the offending channel, with a multimeter, all the components from Cx09 (where x = 1...4)
All of them. you need to make sure all are connected properly to each other. thats basically verifying the tracks are still ok.
I maintain you have a floating connection somewhere.
I had to do that on the 4401 I had..

Having the cover on didn't help the noise. The noise waveform that I saw was from my bench light. I'll try the bypass caps on the op-amp supplies next.
I still can't figure out what is wrong with the muting circuit. How is it supposed to work? Attenuation, or shorting the signal to ground. Looks like the muting switch shorts the gates of the fets to ground. The headphone jack has a switch that does that too. Here's an odd observation: For one jack, it cuts the sound entirely. The other one produces the same distorted waveform shown in figure 52. Grounding the gates of the fets with a wire also produces the distorted waveform.
Ideas?
