Belt squeal, engine on and off (Pulse & Glide)

I was trying some P&G last night, out some back roads where I'd travel up to around 50, switch off my engine, keep the ignition on, then let go of the clutch once I got to a certain speed to bump start it again. However, whilst it started, there was a fair bit of squealing. Not sure if it was a belt or my tyres (would doubt that), but it was certainly concerning. Is this something common? Would many of you use the starter to get the car going again when gliding? The idea of using the starter to me seemed a little silly, putting increased wear on the car - especially if you were running without the engine all the time.
