I couldnt see the upload pie link. Perhaps you are seeing transients
when TX stops. I guess I have 2 suggestions:

1) make sure you are ending the transmit burst with the EOB tag
http://gnuradio.org/cgit/gnuradio.git/tree/gr-uhd/include/gr_uhd_usrp_sink.h#n59
http://gnuradio.org/cgit/gnuradio.git/tree/gr-uhd/examples/c++

2) Also its good to pad out the burst/ofdm frame to push the frame
through the TX DSP filters, and also to mitigate transients.
