OK Have done a bit more testing
I tried this with the R56 Cooper S auto box with DSC Week 20 build.

Parked on an incline (going up the hill)
Put the auto in N with my foot on the brake, shifted to R and took my foot off the brake quickly, the car holds for a couple of seconds and then accelerates backward (downhill) V. rapidly. Repeated several times.

Then turned the car around to point downhill. Put the auto in N with my foot on the brake, moved the stick to D and released the brake as quickly as possible. The brakes hold for a couple of seconds as before and then accelerates down hill. Repeated several times.

But it is not of much benefit due to the fact you must have the brake pedal depressed to move the auto stick from N to R or to D. So when on a slight incline it feels like there is a hesitation in the gear box, which used to mean (old days) an adjustment was required to the box.
So just a heads-up so as to save someone some aggravation.
