I had not thought of one back wheel spinning due to the LSD not locking up, in view of our featured AWD. It was the rears which were on soft stuff and I am sure you have the answer.

P.S. Please do not mention solenoids.

I think Pete's point about moving from standstill says a lot. Shifting all the car's weight take a lot of torque. As our road tyres have zero grip in slippy conditions, they can spin freely in low grip situations. Perhaps the percentage weight of the LSD is set low, so as not to jerk around the luxury ride.

I figure if you were wearing traction lug tyres like a jeep, she would just pull out of the muck without a chirp.

The other point is like what Phill said; if I was in a situation like you describe, as soon as I realised one wheel was spinning, I would pull the diff fuse to give it a better chance of rocking it's way out of bother.
