Yes, that's true, if you get into a real sharp turn and drop a lot of speed. But that also means you're likely coasting through part of the turn and engine rpm's have dropped to idle or close to it. No doubt the DCT may be a little confused and slight turbo lag plays a role. . .

If you downshift into mid-power band gear ratio (2500-3500 rpm) the turbos will blow a mighty wind and lag is minimized.
