First of all, I have experienced what you're talking about. It's not exactly abnormal unless it's excessive. You have to keep in mind that the SkyActiv transmission does not use a tq converter, effectively, above 10mph. This means drivetrain momentum is more directly transmitted to you, the driver/passenger and the vehicle as a whole. It's what makes it feel more responsive than most slush-boxes to minor throttle inputs.
Problem is below 10mph, and I think its excessive.
