It happens in automagics from time to time when the grade exceeds the transmission's ability to hold the car in place. You're technically always in gear to some extent (obviously) in Drive/OD. That's why you roll forward at idle with your foot off the brake.
All it means (hopefully) is that your car doesn't have the power at idle to pull up that particular grade. If you gave it a bit of gas, it should have rolled up without issue. If it didn't engage and roll right away, THEN you've got problems.
