Can't help but think the 3.2,s could do with a tweak, ESP given the lag issue. Points to something off IMO.

Not sure the gearbox software is as refined as the latest for non DBW ones, and lags are always around the gear change points (or when you confuse what gearbox was going to do)

Lift off lag at the top end doesn't appear to relate to gear changes ime.

Retardation when its locking/unlocking TC?

Does it lock that high up the range,5-6k? Undecided

Its likely it will be, but may choose to unlock on lift off, then relock when power reapplied?

Guess the test is can it be repeated on a manual 3.2...

I think (and this is all from watching the tacho, not watching what it's doing on a Tech2) that it unlocks as soon as you lift off, and only locks up again if it realises you aren't decelerating (i.e. going downhill). But it's unlikely to be locked-up in the first place if you've got your foot to the floor - I though it only locked up under cruise & gentle acceleration.

..and it went 'dugga dugga dugga dugga'..
