The dropping into 1st at a very slow speed is done to prolong the life of the transmission. Ours does that too, and so had our previous Focus.
It'll 1-2 upshift under light throttle at about 15-20 KM/H, and it'll downshift 2-1 somewhere near where you're mentioning IIRC.
I'd still let the ECU reset completely and take it out again from scratch to see what it does. No aftermarket TB or anything? It almost sounds like the throttle butterfly itself or the throttle cable is sticking. Do you notice any extra effort required to push down on the gas pedal?
