I am not sure, but I think the light is there primarily for fuel economy reasons. I would not put much faith in it for other purposes.
If it turns on and I press the gas it will usually turn off. I think this is because it realizes I want to accelerate and am better off in a lower gear. The instant I let off the gas it will come back on because I might as well coast in a higher gear. It is trying to select the best gear for fuel economy, engine load, and driver input.
When I am driving very hard, my light will not come on until over 5000 RPM. I think that is no longer for fuel economy reasons, but to keep the engine in one piece. I use it to help keep away from the abrupt shock when I hit the damn rev limiter. (Which I have done a few too many times, (always in 1ST. You don't want my car when it comes off lease :-)
