IMO, it's operator induced.

I find it's smoother (or I am) if I give the throttle a little blip before engaging the clutch.
I think bucking is a fair description as well.

I don't doubt that some of it is the driver -- as I mentioned, I notice it happening less if I change my throttle input as well. The intent of my post was just to verify that this has been experienced by others, and that it's not just my car, and see if anyone might have some insight as to why it seems easier to induce this behavior in the M (e.g. if this is some characteristic of the flywheel in this car).
