My conjecture is that the C1-C5 clutches in the transmission are never allowed to slip and sufficient(ly high) pressure is always applied to them, unlike the torque converter clutch that is programmed to allow some slip by default. The shudder, after all, is the TC clutch engaging and disengaging several times in quick succession once the friction coefficient of the fluid drops below a threshold due to the absorbed moisture.
Zeroing out the slip tables in the transmission tune helps with the shudder, and this is probably why.
