Air time recording on the ground

I'm having an odd issue with the air time counter occasionally recording while on the ground.  This issue has come up when shutting down at the fuel pump after a flight, then restarting to taxi to the hanger.  I have a dual screen Skyview setup, and I am one software release behind. 

The most recent time this has been observed the Dynon showed an "air time" of :56 for the flight with the "air total" at 88.4. (0.9 air time) on arrival at shut down at the pumps.  Fuelled up and taxied to the hangar and it showed "air time" :01 minute and a "total air" of now 88.5 after the second shutdown.  On previous occassions as many as 3 minutes of air time has been observed after then taxi from the pump back to the hanger. 

The only reason this matters to me is that I have a few partners and we share certain costs based on logged air time.  Also, it's just wrong, and I'd rather things be right. 

Any ideas?

All we can do to detect "in the air" is to use airspeed, and I believe we use any speed over 20 knots. Are you taxiing fast or into a stuff breeze? (enough to see IAS come alive)
