if you aren't on the gas the computer thinks you are cruising, then it will try to do the smoothest(slowest) shift it can to keep you happy

if you punch it mid shift, the transmission and engine wont have time to calculate and compensate for that change and lock up quick enough

cruising = slow shift = about 1 second to complete a shift and lock up(or even more time sometimes)
flooring it = very fast shift = around .1-.2 seconds a shift (sounds awesome with an exhaust!)
I've never tried flooring it whilst shifting, usually either stop pressing the peddle down farther or let off completely if cruising. Didn't know about the double shift either.

I don't think that'll help the mid RPM climb dip I'm seeing though :/
