rarely use on a road bike) applies a small amount of regenerative braking before the pads make contact–just as in my wife's Prius. Online discussions convinced me, however, that this is the expected behavior when commanding a motor to maintain a fixed amperage in its windings (thus applying constant torque) while under little load.

Well need to spend some more time with the car to find out how it holds up over longer drives, but the powertrain tech obviously works.
