If you kick down in electric it will start the petrol engine. Once it has been started it needs to stay on for a couple of minutes to gain at least a little temperature. So that is why it wont go back after a kickdown ICE acceleration.
Personally I haven't experienced the switch to hybrid. I have driven a fair bit of miles in electric so far.
