interesting...
I *think* most (all ?) starters have a one-way clutch or ratchet.. if the engine is spinning faster than the connected starter motor, then the running starter is disengaged from the running engine. This would take care of the more normal case of holding the starter button down a little too long (continuing to run the starter even after the engine has started).
