I have an '08 3.0si w/13k miles on it and I've never had the issues described by you 4.8i drivers. Besides from a sometimes "sluggish" response in D mode, no harsh downshifts or jolting starts from a rolling acceleration have been observed.

Could be that the 3.0 I6 engine doesn't generate enough power to illicit that whiplash like sensation to notice or just the fact that the 6spd is paired better in the 6cyl combo. Hope that helps....
