Dieseling, a backfire or an occasional backward spin is not unusual for a Super M at shutdown .
Working the engine hard for a few minutes to burn out carbon deposits sometime helps. So also does switching to a higher octane fuel. And as others point out adjusting the low idle RPM down as slow as possible - 425 RPM or so - and letting the engine idle a minute before hitting the switch can help.

Incidentally dieseling at shutdown hurts nothing. Our two SM's have done it for 55+ years with no ill effects whatsoever.
