Anyway, I just find it humorous that Audi is sneaky enough mis-label TSB's to try to keep us at bay.

While we would like to believe otherwise, I seriously doubt Audi identifies their TSBs to keep forum owners confused. In fact, I doubt they pay much, if any, attention to any of the Audi forums. The feedback they primarily pay attention to comes from the dealer service network through customer issue reports. In reality, enthusiast forums are mostly just anecdotal background noise to Audi and the dealers.

Overall, we've been extremely impressed with the transmission in our '13 3.0T Q. It's not just the tranny, but also the fuel mapping and Supercharger characteristics which lead to a great driving experience. But I can sometimes detect some less-than perfect shifts down low, here and there. Nothing which seems alarming or wrong, and there's no TSB for ours, anyway. Just had it in for something else, and the only TSB which popped up was for a steering update. But that was (technically) some kind of a patch/fix for some issue in extremely low temps, which don't exist in Southern California. But nothing about the transmission.
