I'm not sure the surge was artificial. You were just making an instant change into a higher power part of the rev range. If there's less of a surge now it must be because the power hasn't tailed off quite so much at 9k. I assume we're talking about GT3 because GT2 doesn't have PDK (yet).
I don't think it related to the power curve of the new motor, as the previous pdk-s didn't have the surge when not in PDK Sport mode...

I contend that there is exactly the same shift and surge in PDK normal and S mode assuming both shifts made at same rpm of course. Sadly I no longer have the car so can anyone offer a second opinion to settle this?

I concur with Gravs. The technical manual for the 991.1 GT3 claimed this as "lightening shift". It's algorithm based. There was mention in a 991.2 GT3 article that the programming had changed to make the car feel more "emotional". After close observation ohms the numerous videos just released including Chris Harris this week my conclusion is the changes are subtle. The upshift points seem a little less "neck snapping" and the downshift points seem a little less "flared". I for one always felt the downshifts lacked a little aural drama on the 991.1 GT3 and could have benefitted by being closer to the GT4 "blip on downshift"
