I'll go out on a limb here and say this...
I believe the problem is a VSC problem and not a transmission problem. When VSC kicks in, and in your case.. there's a problem with its operation... your car will reluctantly upshift into higher gears to assist you in better traction and engine braking.
Under normal operation, when you accelerate hard and VSC kicks in, your transmission will hold lower gears as long as it can until it is convinced you are no longer on at WOT or potentially WOT again. The system tries to adapt to your driving and throttle prediction.
I hate this feature, but that's how they come.
