I'm curious because mine does hesitate.

Nope. Other than the slip under hard accelleration I currently have ZERO issues with the trans.
Thanks for the links to the literature. I've been spending my time searching for info on the issue but everything I find seems to be coupled with some other ailment (like yours).

I don't know if I'm just catching this so early on that I haven't had time to wreck anything else or what.

The closest thing I could find to my issue was on a ZF 5 speed. It wound up being an axial needle bearing failure that wiped out an internal seal. It was allowing a pressure drop under load, causing slipping of the effected clutch.

I've got an appointment with my local indy on Thursday. Fingers crossed... Hoping for a sticky valve or solenoid. I just can't see rubuilding a trans with 60k on it. I won't consider replacing the trans. If it has to come out, it's getting rebuilt and stuffed right back in. That'll teach it!
