When you go quickly from any throttle to neutral, the magnetic field in the motor will collapse and generate a small voltage. Won't be near the amount that a brake setup has though, unless the motor IS in fact doing a little braking without you realizing it.

Relays are coils and generate inductive kickback when shut off. Most circuits simply place a reverse-biased diode in parallel with the coil to shunt that spike.
