It takes a definite amount of time for the pressures in the Ultra to bleed down as the car comes to a stop. In normal stopping on the road, there is plenty of time for them to do that. Applying the brakes with the car on jackstands probably does not give the governor sufficient time to exhaust the pressure that controls the direct shift. This will especially be so with the engine idling at 800 as you will have to brake fairly hard to get the wheels to stop. Set it back to 500 tops.

I'm guessing you did not notice this while driving the car? With an 800 idle speed you will get a bucking downshift as you brake to a stop.
