Sounds pretty normal to me. Trans almosts shifts like a manual under heavy throttle. I think MBDOC has said previously this was intentional to protect the trans and flex disks from the low end torque of the diesel.

If objectionable, the easiest solution is to chip it.

I believe the STUSA "Agressive" chip plays with the torque converter in addition to fuel, boost and lag.
