Time for some crowd sourcing

Anyone out there with a 2009 or later VW diesel with a DSG transmission?

We've got a 2010 Jetta TDI with a DSG that is experiencing an intermittent high idle problem. Most of the time it idles at about 800 rpm. But from time to time it tries to run at about 1,000 rpm. When that happens, and you stop with the brake applied, it seems to surge and seems to want to pull away. In my own experience as an auto writer with some other recent Golf and Jetta diesels I never experienced this in other vehicles. The dealer is claiming this is normal but I'm dubious. FWIW, there are no faults set or warning lights, so whatever it is within spec but probably just barely.

Has anyone else experienced similar behavior?
