Bryan, if your P-mags are wired per the manual, you run the risk of them losing the timing mark. This is one of the scenarios V40 is designed to fix.
If your P-mag is powered but grounded and you crank your engine over / start it on one ignition, the positive pulses in the MAP line can act like someone blowing in the tube. (Although the MAP is a suction, we found there are some high order positive pressure waves present possibly from the intake valve slamming shut.)
If you start on both ignitions (both P-mags ungrounded), you should not have an issue.

Need to verify, but I "unground" at position 2 on the toggle. Position 3 applies power to and "ungrounds" the P-mag. Cannot get to pos 3 without going though pos 2. And, it's worked now for 50-60 start cycles and no problemo.
Appreciate the suggestion/concern, Bill!

You must be doing something right, because you haven't had a problem.
If you are wired like I am, off is grounded and NOT powered, you won't have an issue.
People with a key/mag switch don't have an issue, as long as the thing ungrounds both mags for starting.
