I think you’ll find that coming out of reverse is not necessarily because of the potential of ingesting engine exhaust. Rather, as the airplane slows, the effectiveness of reverse thrust becomes substantially less (like a NiCad battery decay slope), so there is less reason to use it; and the slower forward speed you have, the greater potential of experiencing compressor stalls with higher levels of reverse thrust – which, naturally, doesn’t do the engines much good.
