As for the placebo comment, I understand it is real. I'm just speculating based on gearing and rpm drop, not having driven one yet, that under 'soft' and 'hard' driving it wouldn't be too apparent.
Some insight on how it is noticed, and under what conditions, could help with figuring out a solution.

The thing that bothers me is an upshift around 6k RPM or so under hard acceleration. The engine lands right in that dead zone, and the car feels as though something tugged on its bumper and slowed it down a lot. Then it slowly picks back up as you work out of that zone.
Shifting at 4kish or 7kish pretty much negates the issue as you avoid that zone altogether, as long as your high RPM shifts finish before the engine RPM drops too much.
Really, you'd notice this the most on a track or area where you can't always control your shift points. In street driving, it is 100% avoidable... but I don't want to have to avoid anything.
