Accelerator pedal moves..?

Hi all,
Have noticed that when starting up and engaging drive on the auto stick, I then feel the throttle pedal 'move back' slightly, almost like the pedal and the auto stick are connected by a 'sticky' cable......all that means nothing to me (!!!), but I was just reading a thread on Mason alarm high readings (which I have) and someone has mentioned a 'cold start' moving the pedal. Is this all gibberish or does it mean something to someone?

As Wonkanoby pointed out, this is the thing that's doing it...

You may notice it while idling when you put the air conditioning on too...!

Cheers, I will have a look.....my other car (10 yrs old) is an auto, and I have never noticed this happening over 5 years ownership, must have a different system or be too subtle for me to notice!
