OK. Went for my first oil change yesterday and talked to their service manager. He said that if you put it on recirc and spray some Lysol under the glove box where the air intake is, it should kill the mold which is causing the odor. To avoid it from happening all together, he said you should not shut off the AC, but just make sure that it's not on recirc when you shut the car off. This allows the hatch from the outside to remain open, and the coils to dry properly.
Sounds pretty logical. I'll give it a try and see what happens.

If this is true, that's a crappy design. It would be relatively trivial to put a little circuit in there that trips the system to open that vent when you shut off the car and return it to however you had it set prior when you restart it.
Crappy assed engineers.
