i dunno about the putting it in nuetral and tapping the gas, but everything before that ive experienced in both my (88LE) and my dads (93SE). Its normal behavior. As you slow down from a high speed, its the transmission changing gears for ex OD -> D ->2 etc. The rpm goes down with the gear its in and when it hits a certain speed, its shift point, it changes gears, and the rpm changes because the computer set the idle at that speed in that gear. My tranny is a bit old (224k miles) so i can feel everything it does and thats what ive noticed. Thats my best guess. Hope this helps.

sounds like the shift points. Although your car is weird with it'* RPMs..
