I have experienced this a few times when stopping someplace on any sort of an incline up or down where I have left it in first gear and shut down.

Usually, body weight shift to the front is enough while rocking to neutral, but I have felt it hit that "flat spot" between first and neutral.
I kicked it down to first again and rocked a bit more and it came to neutral OK.

Don't worry about it-- nothing wrong with your transmission.
