Well, this rev flaring thing I have is bothering me to the point that I just popped into see Audi
On a test-drive, the service manager (nice guy!) seemed to think there was an issue, but that a recalibration + resynch + software update should cure it. It's booked in tomorrow morning to have it done.
I'll try and shoot a video of what it does, but basically, when coming to a stop and letting the car downshift, it will go from 6 -> 4, revs drop to where you'd think it'd stay, then gradually flare up about 4-500 RPMs, then back down again. It's as if it's holding onto 4th a bit too long instead of going almost immediately into 3rd. It does it > 80% of the time, less so if I come to more of an abrupt stop with the brakes. It also does it from 3->2 exactly like this video, posted by another member on this forum with what seems to be exactly the same problem:

(notice as it shifts into 2nd, the revs flare up slightly)
It "feels" like clutch slip. I know DSGs tend to feel like they are slipping the clutch in low gears when setting off, but this is a bit different.
Will report back tomorrow! I'm positive it wasn't always like this.
