Maybe...

It could be that, due to slight variations in the setting of the BFO with 
relation to the center of the CW filter, a bit of BFO signal itself could 
be sneaking into the passband... in which case, the S-meter may be 
indicating the presence of the received BFO signal within the passband.

Sorry, I cannot respond to this one... never use the mic OR its buttons here.
