Can you duplicate the problem with the back wheel off as shifting up requires overcoming more resistance. In any event keep us posted and agree, although I do love the system, at this price point nothing but "perfect" it acceptable.
It doesn't happen often enough to be able to duplicate it at will . But it happened with my race wheels and my training wheels which have a different cassette on them.

Also let me elaborate on the communication bit . Let say I have the gear field on the garmin and it's showing 5/11 , and I shift down but the RD malfunctions and nothing happens , the garmin is now showing 4/11 and the RD didn't move .
If I keep clicking to shift down , at some point the garmin will be showing 1/11 but the derailleur will still be at the middle (5/11) of the cassette. To fix the problem I have to either go back and "pick up" where it left, shift back to 5/11 and try again, or shift the front
derailleur .

ps. despite all these I'm still drooling and waiting for the XX1 etap system
