Default 2003 1.8 "stalling" @ 3900 RPM...Can't be normal???

My 1.8, A4 Quattro, Automatic, with tiptronic is "stalling" at the top end of 2nd gear at 3900 RPM. You can actually see the needle and feel the car "cut out" @ 3900 and then it will advance to 4100 RPM and shift to 3rd. It only does it when I accelerate at a medium to rapid pace (when the RPM reach 3900 in 2nd gear)
My local Audi originally said it was a problem, they have had the car for a week and put two modules in the car totaling $4,000, (under warranty) and the problem is not fixed. Now,Audi tells me because of the cars smart transmission it is supposed to do this and is just adjusting to my driving habits. I'm calling BS, anybody heard of this problem.

Sounds like typical BS, what if you shift it manually? does it exhibit the same issues??

I would try another dealer if you feel you are getting the runaround
