Yeah, my gen 2 Prius had a grabby transition. I know that feeling. The regen/friction transition in this car is much better.

I'm talking about something else here -- the grabbiness I'm experiencing is during friction braking at extremely slow creeping speeds (speeds well below the transition).

I think ProDigit nailed it: it's the "initial bite", and it's super sensitive. Too sensitive.
