As a driver you have to train yourself to wait for the timing to come back or overcompensate by slipping the clutch with extra throttle.
I like that you used the word "bucking". I know exactly where you're coming from. Sometimes it falls flat and sometimes it bucks.

It's definitely an issue, more on the performance side for me. I've notice twice when rolling into the throttle in 2nd gear, the car would start "bucking", but it was when I started to accel in a very low traction situation with the back end skipping on a not so smooth surface and the nannies on and it felt like the traction system was over compensating a ton, so I just kinda wrote it off as that and always make sure all nannies are off when attempting that again. That's when I noticed the bucking but I definitely have issues with it falling flat on the launch.
As far as the initial take off in first gear, now that I'm aware of how the car behaves on that initial take off from the driveway, I just apply a little more throttle and come out easier on the clutch and it works just fine. Again, it was just something that I've learned to try and adapt to but it's definitely reassuring to know that it's not just my car and that GM is offering to help.
