As an operator of an aircraft powered by a Gipsy Major 10-1/1 the method of shutting down is move throttle to idle and switch off both mags and as the rpm decays open the throttle fully.
This proves that it is the switching off of both mag switches that has caused the engine to stop and not a lean cut.
Bottom line treat all props/engines as live no matter what!!
Just my thoughts
