Caught the DSG off-guard? Wrong gear was waiting on the other shaft because you were slowing down, then quickly accelerated, leading to the engine hitting the redline a couple of times before the DSG caught up and changed gear. I've done this a few times to myself.

That sounds more like what I experienced. Can't say for sure it was red-lining, but it sounded like something was repeatedly hitting a hard limit. Just much more of a thud than I'm used to. This is the corner it did it on.. Steep, tight, a steering wheel approaching full lock, and a pretty uneven road surface as you exit the corner (living up to Brisbane's high standards). A bit of indecisiveness from the DSG is not too difficult to imagine I guess
