I suspect that you experienced the following: You used the "B" setting to coast down a fairly long hill, long enough to charge your hybrid battery fully (all green bars). At that point, the hybrid system needs a way to shed the extra and unneeded charge, so it spools up the internal combustion engine to do that. No harm is done; the hybrid system is designed to handle it. That, at least, is what I have read elsewhere. I have experienced this revving myself under similar circumstances.
