Yes. Their is a direct correlation between surge current and dielectric materials dielectric constant. The voltages in question are high enough to use a thick dielectric material and just as with the effective resistance of the capacitor, there is a time constant to energy release from a dielectric material. This would never be an issue in normal terms. I realize that you consider SET's to have a constant current draw and this is mostly true, but peak current draw may be quite a different thing with power hungry mid bass signals.

That the PP2000 cannot draw enough power to satisfy the system needs from the power line and it's essentially infinite reserve but can draw it from the battery pack says to me that there is a current limiting device in the AC to AC to DC supply circuit., before the battery float point which is at that DC point. Maybe a CLC filter would solve the problem.
