"The other thing to remember about fuel cut is that it ends when the gas engine rpms drop to a certain level, usually about 1100rpm. At this point the ECU feeds in fuel to keep it from stumbling. So depending what the CVT is doing you may not get fuel cut while coasting in gear."
I've been watching and it looks like after the engine is warmed up, the ECU cuts the fuel and leaves it off all the way to the stop. In that case it doesn't care if the IC engine stumbles since it will just move the CVT to 'neutral' and let the engine auto-stop. Seen this happen several times now and with a loght pressure on the brakes, the car is still rolling 5 mph forward in auto-stop.
