Think about it - putting the tranny in D does nothing electrical or electronic; it only puts a load on the engine and likely dampens any RPM fluctuation which gives the appearance that the problem only occurs in P or N.
Hmmm... mine seems slightly different. I don't notice anything when it's in drive, not even the slightest indication that the engine would like to surge despite the fact that it is loaded.

I'll just assume that I am not noticing it for the time being, this is most likely the same issue.

AD thanks for the fuel pressure regulator tip, I don't have that on my list.

Anyone want to trade an old Volvo for an '87 300sdl?
