If it is as you say, it's a design fault. The power cycle is a definite Off, wait a second or so, then On.
I have TP-Link KASA EP10 smart plugs and I don't see this behavior, and at least one plug controls a device that would definitely be impacted by such a power cycle.
For the sake of completeness you might double/triple/quadruple check that the plug doesn't have a schedule programmed. Assuming it doesn't have its own schedule, is there any chance the plug is a member of a group/scene/etc such that while the *plug* may not have a schedule, it is impacted by something else that does? Maybe try a factory reset on the plug (assuming there is such a reset)?
