Would you please explain what this "stabilization system" is??

In all the 350's I have flown over the years(and seen for that matter), B,BA,B1,B2,B3+, I have never come across what you are refering to...
In many AS350 (with and without AP) you have a stabilisation system in the pitch, roll and yaw axis.
Maybe, you're referring to an optional trim-system...... which is a trim-system (that would not allow you feet of the pedals tough)

If you keep your feet on the floor as you say, you'll have "heading-hold", that would be around one of the axis, ie. AP installed. OR make you much cooler?! than me...

As for wobbling, yes it does very close to ground when on set-down mainly. (this does not come from the MR design by the way, but the fuselage aerodynamics, TR position and design) In OGE hover it's your own responsability to create the wobble....

Cheers
