Its been described on a forum (the poster mentioned it being described in your UK Bike magazine) as a "throttle assist", works in conjunction with the lever mounted clutch safety switch to raise RPM to lessen the chance of stalling while easing clutch engagement.

RPM rise does not occur pulling/releasing clutch while in neutral. RPM rise occurs only in gear and RPM can be modulated with clutch pull via activating the switch at its certain point of engagement with clutch lever. So its programmed into the ECU by design.

That all make sense? This all sound like your scenario?

Gotta check my Honda manuals for further detail.
Latest SV650 has that feature as well.
