You're right, there's no explicit link in that thread except the description of lifting a wheel which is consistent with the description of what "auto-lsd" purports to accomplish:

Without the brake dance, if you upset the car's computers enough, it will still re-engage traction and stability control. This specifically involves enough of a loss of traction that you're getting what the ECU believe to be uncontrolled wheelspin, the equivalent of lifting a rear wheel.

Guess I just drew my own conclusions (that could be false), the "auto-LSD" feature didn't really come to light as an explanation until a year or two after this initial "research" and it's rare for anyone to go back and update a technical post years later.
