Sounds completely normal to me. Imagine you were driving an 8sp manual in each situation, what would you be doing in terms of gear shifts? The box is trying to make those same decisions, albeit without seeing what you're seeing. As for the "unnecessary" kick down, you did say you "slammed the throttle pedal". It's in Sports mode, it gets kicked in the guts, so it responds as I would expect this gearbox to, by dropping down two gears and holding the changes until redline.
