Rough transmission engagement while gliding

I just returned from a 600 mile round trip day on Saturday. I used eco mode to take advantage of the glide feature while coasting. At highway speeds the wife and I noticed that the transmission would engage itself with an awful sound and jerking sensation after about 10 seconds of gliding. Has anyone else experienced this annoying quality? I think I am going to take it to the dealership to get it checked out. BTW, it doesn't exhibit this characteristic below 55 mph.

Definitely not.. even when shifting to neutral the engine is smart enough to rev-match before shifting back into gear. It's always 100% smooth for me.

I thought the glide feature only worked in eco mode. I don't get the sail boat in comfort mode and the rough engagements either.
