Default Cruise Control Phenomenon

I took the little beauty on its first road trip (at least with me). Up and down some nice twisty hills for over 200 miles today. The car handles and climbs beautifully.

The only thing I noticed is that when I used the decelerate toggle on the cruise, it would begin slowing the car like I would expect, then I would feel like someone pushed against the front end like it was being held back. I noticed that the RPM's were jumping from 2,200 to over 3k so I'm guessing that as I was holding down the decel toggle, the car dropped into a lower gear causing the rpms to climb due to the current speed causing the car to slow.

Is this an accurate hypothesis?
