Most likely interference from the spindle, which is causing a small voltage to be generated in the E-stop/limit wiring.
The VFD to spindle wiring should be shielded, as that is a major source of noise/interference, which will be picked up by any nearby wiring. If that wiring is low voltage (5V or less) control wiring, it can be enough to generate enough voltage/current in that wire to trigger inputs, especially things like e-stop or limit switch circuits. It also has the potential to cause missed/extra steps in motor drivers.
