Weird problem with R4-MOT with Motor-Winder R

I have just acquired a motor-winder for my R4-MOT. It all seems to work well, firing and metering from both shutter release positions on the camera and motor drive, both on single and multi frame. However, if I turn the camera quickly upside down it sometimes fires one or two frames. Has anyone else come across this issue? As there is no on/off switch for the camera or motor, it would mean I would need to take the battery compartment off the motor, each time I put the camera in a bag or risk getting multiple blank images. This is no great hardship, given it has a quick release catch but it would be nicer not to have to do it
