Maybe as RedFRS4me said, there might be a way to modify the maps to "silence" this phenomenon; however, I am a little wary of that fix, mainly because I am not very knowledgeable about tuning.
With my OFT tune I added the airfuel #3 tables to my tunes and used rom raider to zero out those values. These relate to the ecu reading the secondary o2 to adjust/learn fuel which in our case, running rich open loop. With these zeroed I am no longer seeing the issue.
