No tranny problems there. That is how it was designed to work. The disengage button is intended to be used if you are stuck in the snow. It disables 1st gear to slow wheel spin to help you get out. Anytime TC is disabled, either intentionally or by a fault, you loose 1st gear. BTW, loss of ABS disables TC and therefore disables 1st gear as well.
