for what you tell me, it really seems that you have some custom emoticons associated to weird shortcuts. Because of that, the emotion sound code is replaced by an emoticon and Plus! cannot interpret it properly. Trying with a custom emotion sound (just get a random one from the panel) could give different results as the codes used for those sounds are not the same.
Limited sounds with msglive plus!
