I notice it too.

I think there may be something going on during warmup when the idle is
faster. Maybe there is more power assist to the brakes to compensate for
the higher engine idle speed pushing the car forward more.

Or maybe we just get used to the grabbiness after we drive a while, but
I've never noticed this on any other car.
