More than likely it is hot carbon deposits that are still glowing red after shutdown. If you don't throttle down all the way, gas continues to be pulled into the cylinders after the plugs quit firing. The hot carbon sets off the mixture after a second or two.

I found this out the hard way when I had a Briggs and Stratton engine kill switch go out on me. I tried to kill the engine by pulling out the choke (not the prefered method of killing a hot engine by the way). I got the flames in the muffler put out, but I almost lost control of some bodily functions in the process.
