Not quite sure how you've wired your relay and switch. I'd be curious to see your schematic and how you did the light since that wasn't a part of R11 units. Fixing the lockout lever in position is no different than the knob being pushed in so that should not cause the reverse issue UNLESS the solenoid is somehow being engaged when the car is not moving. Once the solenoid has moved the pawl the reverse lockout is engaged to prevent a driver from trying to use reverse when the sun gear is held and power is being transmitted thru the planetary since reverse can't be passed thru the overrunning clutch.

On an R11 the lockout switch should be in the power lead coming from ign switch to the relay. Governor will provide the ground thru the kickdown switch and bring in the relay and solenoid when it reaches speed of approx 20mph. 35 sounds a bit high but that is dependent on axle ratio and governor calibration.
