Well for me I feel the surge also, but from what I understand the rev matching I think is for downshifting and then accelerating not downshifting and slowing down. So when you downshift the rev match is thinking you are going to take off so it makes the RPMs a little higher, but if you downshift and let the RPM settle then let out the clutch you wont feel the jolt. Good example at a stop light take off hard switch gears at say 6000k into 2nd but dont punch it just let the clutch out you will feel the car jolt forward with the rev match on. Then turn it off and do the same and you should not feel the jolt.
