Strange DSG Behavior

So, over the past few days I've been driving in Manual mode, and from a stop under moderate throttle, I get the thing moving and shift to second. All is normal up until the shift, this is where it gets weird.
It kicks like it was in a different gear and downshifted to first, but I was rolling from first into second. The Readout says 2, but it doesn't upshift until it reaches readline. Then it will shift, but still say 2.

I have no idea how else to explain this phenomenon but basically feels like a mis shift on the DSG's part. No codes, and afterwards it shifts fine.

Other thing is when going up a hill from a start I'm noticing the trans is slipping more clutch than usual. This happens in D, S, or M.

Also I know it is a 'wet' dual clutch, but I still end up smelling burning clutch matter after these two events take place. And no other cars are around.

Any thoughts?
