Of course dont pedal backwards. Check all the above. If nothing is amiss dont worry about it. Got it kne one new bike in the 11t cog but none of the others. Nothing is amiss and eveything is new so i will not worry.
It could be that The chain is being picked up by the chain ring shifting pins when chain is not on center sprocket. Nothing you can really do if you use same chainrings. Perhaps switch chainrings with different pickup pins or fewer pins

to give a update to this old thread, i too had a similar issue
the issue is that the fd angle needs to be asjusted outwards, ie the front of the cage is nearer to the big ring and the rear the the cage is nearer to the seattube

I know the bulk of this is an old thread, but I have also experienced this issue with Scott Solace/Contessa Solace which have a BB86 bottom bracket sheels. Our bikes have wheelsets laced with DT Swiss 240S straightpull centerlock hubs and what I found was that depending on the bottom bracket used, the chainline was displaced outwards a tad, thus adding a .5 mm cassette spacer/shim behind the Shimano Ultegra cassette corrects the chainline sufficiently to eliminate the issue.
