Backfires LOP
I would guess an ignition problem.
If neither plug fires there would be unburned fuel in the cylinder.
 
LOP requires a better spark than "somewhat" ROP which is what most people mean by ROP.
An LOP mag check at altitude will tell.  APS has opinions how to do that..

Anyone had experience with this?
Pilot flying our IVP (TSIO550E3B with 4 blade MT) and reports:
"Had backfires(?) couple of nights back. Was running lean of peak with  
temps 1590 at FL150, around -15C, light rain,  29Hg 2500rpm .
Happened twice so went rich of peak for remainder of flight with no  
problems. Any reason come to mind?"
Be grateful for any thoughts
