My IO-320 does the same thing.  I've discussed it with several greybeard Lyc fliers among the local EAA group and they say it is "after-firing," as opposed to "back-firing."  After-firing is caused by a too-rich idle mixture, they say.  On their recommendation, I have started leaning while taxiing, and it has cured the problem.  I pull the mixture back until it starts running rough, then enrichen by a 1/2 turn.  Also seems to help with the mag check during run-up (i.e. the plugs haven't gotten carboned up as much as with the richer mixture).
 
YMMV.
