She's acting up....

So I'm driving a bit aggresively and as I downshift from 4th to 3rth and allow the car to coast, the synchro rev perfectly matched 3rd gear revs and I let out of clutch, then something happened....

Instead of engine breaking the car maintains speed or even very slightly accelerates.(on its own with my feet completely off of all pedals) Once I apply break pressure it stops doing this. No the accelerator wasn't stuck I was curious so I tried to duplicate the action and once again the same thing. This time I put my foot behind the pedal and tried to pull out, it wasn't stuck. It only happened at right about the 4k rpm range and for only about 3 seconds.
The action felt like something was up with the Synchro system, like it was trying to bump the rpms while i was in gear

This happened about an hour ago and is definitely cause for concern. Anybody ever heard of this happening?
