I'm fairly sure mine displays the same behaviour and tends to lurk in gear for a while. It will eventually change gear when the road levels out a bit. It's some kind of hill-climb assistance built in to the gearbox/electronics from what I understand. I normally force its hand by whacking it across the H-gate and telling it what gear I require.
