Maybe I'm not following this, but the back-EMF pulses always happen after the initial signal. So, if the motor was operated in reverse, the feedback pulses would still be happening in the right order. If what you are saying is true, then the ESC is firing coils when it is not supposed to? I would think that would cause a LOT more damage than simply being less efficient. Akin to firing a spark when a piston is on the way up in the stroke!
