Default Done that several times in my S4...

...I had no issues, and not only did I rev match, but I was actually flooring the throttle to immediately hit maximum acceleration as soon as 1st gear was engaged (imagine almost sidestepping the clutch to accelerate in 1st gear from a rolling start at 20mph, and that is how I would engage the gears in that situation). I did this several times during autocrosses (or on a short track with tight turns) after overshooting a braking zone. I also do it at 10-15mph in traffic more frequently.

I always downshift into 1st while still moving, just a habit I guess . . .

As long as you match revs, it's not a problem. I do it as well.
