Default engine stutter with Active Handling turned off

I was autocrossing Saturday, and I turned the AH OFF. I ran 3 runs, using 2nd gear in my A4. I came to the line for My 4th run, and when I "power braked" for the launch, the engine went into a regular stutter, like UHH, UHH, UHH, UHH, UHH. I put it in Neutral and the engine reved normally, but when I put it in L or 2 it would UHH, UHH. I turned AH ON and then went into Competition and everything was OK, so I made 5 more runs in Comp. BTW, AH OFF didn't produce the UHH, UHH any more after that. No codes.
Question : What caused the reduced power with my AH OFF ???

Your "power braking" may have caused the engine controller to start removing timing.
