Yep, it always does the throttle blipping dance if the A/C is on.

I always wait for at least 30 seconds after a cold start before putting the car in gear as a matter of principle, and have developed the habit of switching off the A/C whenever I stop the car. This usually prevents the embarrassing, sophomoric engine revving at startup. I just hit the A/C button after driving off.

I've never had this happen in traffic or after the engine has been running for more than 60 seconds.
