hate to say it, but it sounds like your starter motor is NOT disengaging fast enough after it turns the engine over and the engine catches. Its a solenoid issue.
I just replaced the starter on my 850 cause of same issue. I ignored it till one day it left me stranded in a parking lot cause it just would not start.
