I'm wondering if it's just my car.
Try this. Start the car on flat ground with the driver's seatbelt unbuckled. Release the parking brake and put the car in L. The car will start to move, unlike in normal driving conditions. You can accelerate a bit and let off the pedal and the car will slow to about 1-2 mph, but still moving. Then insert the seatbelt and the car will stop, as one would normally expect in L mode.
You can achieve the same effect by driving the car in L, setting the parking brake at a stop, and releasing the parking brake (which requires your foot on the brake pedal) and the brake pedal. The car stops when you connect the seatbelt.
In some cases, if you get up enough speed and lift off the pedal in L after starting with the seatbelt off, the car will start to stutter as it slows, like a manual ICE when the clutch needs to be pushed in at low speeds.
It doesn't happen if you take your seatbelt off while driving because that sets the parking brake when you stop, but it will happen after you start again if you don't reconnect the seatbelt.
