I have the same problem and no idea how to stop it. I was told by a tech at 
Melco one time that if the entry and exit points are 'crossed' this will set up 
a retrace. When it really annoys me or causes problems, I go in and trace it 
manually with a normal walk stitch and delete the original outline-and do not 
let my ends 'cross'.
For the puckering-without a backing you are going to get puckering on the 
nylon, period. You can try setting a higher MT setting-2 is pretty tight...but 
without the backing it is going to pull the threads up tight-and there's your 
pucker.
I have heard of a water soluably backing-similar to your standard thick backing 
material but it dissolves in water-heavier than solvy, but then you have to 
wash the flag. Probably not what you want to do. All the flags I have seen with 
embroidery on them use the applique method, but the tack down stitching is not 
a tight stitch-very spaced out-probably prevents the puckering. You'll have to 
experiment with the settings for your stitch length if no one else jumps in 
here that has done it.
