Does this happen on all bands?  It certainly doesn't sound normal.  When
you say "on CW" do you mean with the amplifier in CW position?  What
happens if you run the xcvr in CW but the amp in SSB position?

My SB-220 does not do what you describe, at all.

Yes ... it happens on all bands.
What I meant by fold back occurs when operating SSB was operating the
exciter's in SSB voice mode.
What I meant by CW was operating a continuous carrier into the amplifier
from the exciter.
The fold back occurs in both SB-220 "CW/TUNE" and "SSB" positions.

What exciter are you using Pete?

I hope this clarifies my original post.
