I have only experienced this twice on a cold start, but this hesitation has been experienced by MANY people to varying degrees and has been talked about ad nauseum. If you search for it here you will find hundreds if not thousands of posts on this. There doesn't seem to be immediately anything wrong with the car, it just seems to be some type of glitch in the software or in a sensor somewhere and beyond being somewhat startling doesn't seem to have much of an effect on driveability of the car.
PaulGiz, a diagnostic scan on a car that does this will yield nothing, unfortunately. Your advice about the keeping the VNT clear is important though, but it seems the hesitation that many experience seems to be unrelated to VNT issues (this is not my opinion, this is the general feel from what people have done though previous posts to try to figure out what causes this)
