Basically it mostly affects certain bikes at slow speed under heavy braking, I used the Enduro example above because it is a bike I have had someone describe the exact feeling of pedal kickback, without using the term and not really even knowing what it is! I can't find a free link and haven't figured out a way to host safe file downloads but if you google "Influence of mountain bike riding velocity, braking and rider action on pedal kickback" it is a paper that the guys at Canyon wrote a few years ago while looking in to pedal kickback. Again though it depends on setup, a soft, progressive bike with low anti rise will try to stand up a long way every time you touch the brakes but something a bit more linear with less sag might not be as noticeable. But otherwise its correct that sitting in the higher part of the travel where the spring rate is softer is generally beneficial. I think its important to distinguish that the suspension isn't being forced apart by the anti-rise, but the wheel is being held back and the acceleration of your body weight is just tipping forwards which creates the extending moment.
