So rewind is triggered by an increase in tension. Both my two EOS50Es (Elan IIE) started suffering from this problem, and it drove me nuts. Got rid of both of them. At first I thought it was my fault with keeping film in my fridge, and not allowing enough time to acclimatise, but it happened with films which hadn't been near a fridge. I've never had the problem with Canon cameras where the body has both columns of sensors.
