Hunting between gears... pretty much all automatics will do this given a moderate incline, but it's interesting that they found the problem bad enough to comment on.
Glad I got the manual (which I pick up tomorrow.. can't wait!).

I'm sure this can be avoided by putting the transmission in Sport or Manual.
