Here in the UK, my 2013 L200 'Trojan' (basically an MN with and ML tub and a challenger front end) does it too. Oddly, it didn't do it in the first 8,000 miles of it's life, but that point coincided with a severe 'cold snap', so I sort of put it down to a cold start feature. The thing is, sub-zero temps have gone, and the problem hasn't. Quite irritating.
Dealer says will look at ECU next service (two weeks time).

No, the point is 'Phat' if you go back and re-read RJTrojan's Post, what he's saying is that sub-zero temps over in the UK where lives ..stops.. the engine flaring problem from happening. It's only now that the weather has warmed up that he's got the problem back again... Which points to it being a problem caused by the EGR valve being open when the air temp is warm enough. So the question is, what has Mr Mitsui changed, about the prior 'normal' operation of the EGR circuit, on the 2013 models...

I own a 2013 glxr and drive Navaras and hilux at work all the time and my triton does tend to lift the revs a lot more noticeable than the others but I have learnt to deal with it and drive it a bit different. My theory came from watching my scangauge. When I change gear at high boost 18-22psi it flares a lot more than if it is around 9psi even if I get off the throttle early before gear change. I can live with it but it is different.
