The Corvette has a seperate feature name for the part of the traction control system that will react to the rears locking up from too little engine power too, and I know from experience the VDC will react to this problem too. Perhaps that's what you're dealing with? I could imagine the engine might be more prone to make that happen at lower RPMs when there's not as much momentum going on... Just a thought.
i think this is the issue i sometimes have.

although i can demonstrate the problem 90% of the time
by turning left or right from a stop light with gentle gas between the 1 to 2 shift.
I put this one down to the way a diff works when turning a corner - one wheel will always spin slightly slower.
