Shifting is one thing.  This effect is sometimes seen when slowing down quickly 
because brake applications lower the reserve pressure and thus slightly raise 
engine revs to restore pressure - on some models, anyway.  If I roll down a 
long hill in my urq with the engine idling and brake hard at the bottom, engine 
revs rise to 2000 rpm for a second or two before falling back to 650.
