The film is firmly held by the sprockets that wind the film on, so it cannot be pulled backwards, but simply tensioned. I too practice the tension/rewind technique as taught by the person who introduced me to Leica's. It does help you see the film has loaded and is winding on ok, as the slack is taken up and you can see the rewind knob spin as you advance the film for the very first frame. But each to their own, I doubt it helps with 'flatness'.
