The memory card isn't supposed to get formatted when you turn your camera off. Unless you're asking something else, I'm somewhat confused really.

Can we assume the IS formatted before the camera is turned off? Or did you never format it?

try other CF card and see if same happenes. if it does, you should get your camera fixed. if it doesn't get another CF card.
