A number of different things can cause this:

1. One shock losing pressure faster than the other.
2. One bearing gritty and slowing down faster than the other.
3. Rear tires have uneven tread causing one to grip faster than the other
4. If you have a ball diff one side could have less lubrication causing slippage unevenly on one side. Only noticeable on short sharp stops.

In my experience I've always experienced some level of this but the reality is that in practice I've never braked that short and sharp (to require a direct stop) in an actual race for it to be a a noticeable distraction.

All the best
