Default Steering Wheel Glitch

I'm sitting at a stop light today, in nuetral, at idle (MN6). My hand is just lightly holding the steering wheel - not rolling.

The steering wheel subltly 'bumps' to the clockwise direction in only what I can describe as a firm pressure (like one might feel on a game console force feedback sensation). It happened only once.

RPM was reporting 600. I was thinking maybe my pwr steering belt slipped or something. Maybe the variable rate steering sensor glitched?

I searched the forum but didn't hit any matches. Has anyone experienced this? (I've got 3000 miles on the odometer).

Or, some PS fluid may have bypassed the flow control spool valve in the rack assembly if there were some residual torque on the steering column.

Could it have been an idle surge when the A/C compressor or alternator kicked on, thereby boosting pressure in the PS system?

You're kidding right? The C6 doesn't really have steering by wire does it? Wouldn't that eliminate road feel, steering feedback? That's half the fun of driving a sports car.
