I've had a similar problem happen with my SF20/M6 TTL with the flash going off when winding on. However, I'm inclined to believe that its the fault of the camera as I don't have the same problem happening with my other M6 TTL and R8. Troubleshooting is made even more difficult as the problem appears to be intermittent and 'seems' to be solved by switching off both the camera and flash and turning both back on - sorta like restarting your computer. Making sure both camera and flash are in their respective 'OFF' positions before mounting the flash onto the camera also helps and is good practice. Having said all that, I would suggest sending the camera to Leica for a checkup if you can afford to part with it for an indefinite amount of time. Do keep us informed should you find the cause of the problem.
