Out of curiosity - what is the 'French Quirk' described by Raanim and NoD?

Been flying the Bus for a couple of year now and never heard of it...
I earlier, somewhat humoursly, just referred to "French Quirks".

The one later referred to it, when you go OP CLB, instead of smartly going to CLB power, and pitching for Climb Speed, it sometimes does nothing with the power, or even takes it off. It seems to be unsure of whether to "enter" the climb by leading with power or pitch? Some P2s fool it by winding the speed up for a bit, I just make some offensive remark about it's abilities and await it sorting it's life out (which it eventually does).
