Yes, either it's broken (doubt it) or your perception of it is off.
Here's a pre-LSD autocross of mine. Note that both wheels are spinning and drawing lines on the pavement.


And no, the spin had nothing to do with the differential - I made the mistake of lifting right as the weight transfer happened... doh.

DSC and to an extend DTC try to prevent wheel-spin. Both cut power and intervene heavily to keep you on the road. Adaptive differential braking only tries to put power to both wheels. Also you can't turn the eDiff off.
