If you have a lot of trapped air under pressure in the filter, that can sometimes cause a backflow after the pump stops and the air bubble expands....unlikely but possible. Question....do you see any water coming back out the skimmer when you kill the pump? If you're getting a reverse water flow you should see it there.

Edit: Not sure but I don't think running water through a centrifugal pump backwards will spin the impeller.
