I've been experiencing the same issue in my 2-day old 2010 3.6R 5EAT Outback, and I agree that it seems to be a transmission issue. It feels like the car is in "neutral" for a second or two while the transmission is trying to find the right gear. I have also noticed a slight shudder at low speed when accelerating where it feels like the transmission is in too high a gear (like it is in 2nd or 3rd, when it should be in 1st or 2nd). I, too, hope that there is a fix for this.
