An update: Weirdly, the "problem" was Reaper... Even after deleting the stop button from the .state file, the stop button would still get a hit from the DAW after a state load. But that was because of the Record button... For some reason, if I send /record 0 (from a state load) it will send back /record 0 and /stop 1 for some reason. So now I'm deleting both from the .state files. I wrote a watcher in AutoHotkey to edit the .state files as soon as they are modified and send a OSC notification**. I might post it here once it's solid.
