I may have run into this on a mildly uphill WOT (3rd gear) merge when I was on the 2.0x BETA (stage 2, 91 octane) flash. It wasn't until the other thread that I realized that subsequent attempts (on days it happened) to replicate the issue may have been load related, but I've never verified that. I was also attempting to merge into oncoming traffic in Chicago every time - that means watching the idiots around me, so who knows what else may have escaped my attention.
I've done this exact same merge many times since the 2.06 (I'm now on the 93 octane Stage 1) without ever running into that brief lull on the way up. I have not tried flashing back to the beta since then, nor would it be helpful right now out here given the lovely weather we have...
The only other time I remember I have run into something like this was the other day driving home in very cold temperatures (~7 degrees I believe, lots of snow the prior day) when I hit a patch of slippery while accelerating from a stop and the traction control blipped (I saw the light!) It felt exactly like I imagine the graph would - a sudden drop, and after a few seconds and traction having returned, acceleration continued apace. Of course, I don't know what would happen if traction control were to blip on a dyno - how it would show up, etc. so that's pure speculation.
It's not helpful in the least, I imagine. I can't do fourth gear pulls through the RPM range required, and certainly not 5th without finding my way to a dyno. It's on my list before AutoX season starts up in the spring - not sure if there's a MAHA out here.
