Do the LEDs round the Zero buttons turn green? If so then Mach has thought it had homed.
Now you seem to have the switches set properly from the description you gave of the LEDs lighting when you activate any switch so the only explanation I can give is that you have noise or a loose connection that is somehow making Mach believe the signal is being seen to say the switch is triggered.
You could try setting a debounce interval of 2000 and see if that helps, its from Config menu then General Config and is to the right hand side at the top.
Now an interesting test to do would be just to set up any limit switch in Ports and Pins, Inputs page to the same port and pin number as you have the Homes set to. If the above is your problem then your limits would be constantly tripping and you would be forever putting Mach into E-Stop/Reset due to that.
If you can not get the better of it with the debounce then post your xml and I will see if I can find a problem in it.
There are known issues with 066 version and one of them is homing but it is different than the issue you are seeing so it is unlikely that it is a version related issue, but you never know.
Personally I would have had 066 pulled as it has more issues than any other version recently but seems there is no appetite for doing that so it remains the lockdown.
