I have a PD-8, and it has worked flawlessly. I also have a couple different Shimano dynamos that work great as well.
Have you checked the wire for missing insulation, which could cause a short? I ask because I had a malfunction recently on another of my bikes (my Schwinn KOM, with a Shimano DH-T780 hub and B&M Cyo Premium). My light wouldn't turn on, no matter the switch position. However, I did notice it flashed on when I shifted the front derailleur!? Turns out, when I changed the FD cable, I accidentally ran it atop the wire to my taillight. The cable rubbed through the insulation and caused the lighting system to short against the steel frame. Easily fixed, thankfully. I've also had the wires pull themselves out of the plug that connects to the dynamo. Check your wires and connections thoroughly.
