Default RE: Does braking on down lines make engine die?

If anything the idle revs should increase because all load is taken off the prop..the ultimate unloading. The airspeed is actually trying to spin the prop faster which causes drag which slows the model. The two things I'd check first is that the idle mix isn't a bit too rich and then maybe go to a slightly hotter plug.
