All of my other past vehicles have worked fine without this feature, so I'm willing to roll the dice if there's some way of stopping this truly obnoxious behavior.

I don't mind the "tug" when it lets go, but I can't stand it when it doesn't.
Mine, in both my cars (E350 and M550i) only does this when I accidentally tug against it while it is setting the calibration. If I do that, it sometimes does "stick" for a minute, only to release in a few seconds. If I anticipate it and sit still, it has never done that. I now try not to reach for something (or, etc) as I initially drive off. Might try that and see.
