I spoke to my brother, the Toyota mechanic and he said:

This is not a common problem, but it could be a bad
symptom of transmission trouble--he suggests you
take it in IMMEDIATELY and have the transmission
looked at.

He had no ideas about this without being able to see
the car.  He says a drop in rpm is normal, but yours
is too much (normal would be about a 200 rpm drop).
The shuddering is just what could be expected to 
happen when the rpms are that low.
