overfueling due to the air going to atmosphere rather than back into the engine.the extra fuel goes down the hot exhaust and pops and bangs.

Cant the extra fuel in the cylinder lead to bore wash and oil contamination?

you get that when the mixture is very rich, a lot of the time. if your going flat out the mixture is right and everything is good, then you let off so the dump valve throws the air out but the ecu thinks that the air in still in the system and puts the fuel in as normal. its only rich for a few rpms and that goes down the exhaust and pops if hot.
