I knew I was going to get called on my response as soon as I posted it, but I thought I'd leave it simple, ie, cold, thick oil causes the problem, whether it causes clutch plates to stick together slightly when cold, (causing the clunk upon gear engagement) or whether it causes the gears and other revolving parts in the tranny to tend to 'pull' on each other in neutral until the oil warms up and thins out.
But to be specific as to what causes each individual condition, you, sir, are correct.
