It seems to me that anything going on in the transmission in this instance is coming from the differential and driveshaft in a non-transaxle car.

When down shifting, the engine RPM is actually slower than it will be when you engage the lower gear. The blip will speed up the engine before the clutch engages so the car doesn't abruptly slow as the clutch is let out. Smoothes out the downshift and doesn't upset the balance of the car.
