Hmm. There's no computer control over the clutch/gears/layshaft/etc, AFAIK. Nor, I think the CDV, which is a simple hydraulic fitting.
So maybe it's RPM management? The ECU is probably more sensitive to pulldown/pullup of RPMs when the clutch is biting. It's feathering the throttle to minimize shock. Just guessing.
I guess it's maybe also physically possible the e-diff is deciding to slip if it senses a big delta between the driveshaft RPMs and the rear wheels. But I don't know if e-diffs can actually slip to 0% on both rears at the same time.
Totally guessing TBH.
