Unsettling handling when overtaking

I've noticed what I'd call unusual handling when I've made some overtaking manoeuvres.

It's always been when I've used heavy acceleration. When I'm about halfway through the manoeuvre and have built up sufficient speed and ease off on the acceleration the backend seems move or squirrel around. It makes you feel the car is about to do something nasty. Almost like a short and sharp oversteer situation.

Has anyone else had similar experiences?

When I first got my new VE it was very nervous particularly at speed.
Reported it on first 1000k service and they said it needed wheels alignment
Was ok after that.
Try that and 40psi.

It might be alignment but I don't think so as the rest of the time it drives very well.

I can't help thinking it's got something to do with the torque vectoring.
