Default CX2 will not failsafe throttle - anyone else?

When I turn off the transmitter, the failsafe will not kick in and the throttle stays in the last position.

I did a re-binding with the throttle (and trim) at the lowest position. The binding was successful.

The receiver will still not return the throttle to zero when I turn off the TX.

What's up???

That's a new one to me too.. You may want to try re-binding again, with the motors and servos disconnected.

Mine does that too. As a rule, i always uplug the batt. before turning off the Tx. Mine will, however, failsafe when firing everything up and I have the throttle lever engaged.

You should always turn on your transmitter first, before plugging the battery in the helicopter, and always disconnect the battery form the helicopter before turning off the transmitter. Is this the sequence you are following?
