My RP does the same thing. I believe it is something to do with the fact that ends of the brake levers are not quite under the kingpins, which means that the steering geometry tends to pull the backplates forward in relation to the brake cables. Normally this isn't much of a problem, but, in reverse, the trailing brake shoe then becomes the leading shoe and can 'wrap on' as one reverses.
Incidentally, my car has only done this since I relined all the brakes and the bottoms of the levers are now rather further forward than they were. I have also rebalanced the brakes so that the fronts come on before the backs, thus making the car stop somewhat more effectively.
