2002 Nissan Sentra won't bump start?

I was driving my neighbor's 2002 Sentra GXE and I thought I'd show him some hypermiling techniques. I turned the ignition off and then tried to bump start it. After I gave it a bump with the clutch, I let the clutch out again, thinking it was running. But all I got was compression braking. I tried a few more bumps, then my neighbor told me to stop trying. It started fine with the key after this. Anybody else run into this on a Nissan or other vehicle?
