The thermostsat maybe stuck open....when you suddenly increase the engine revs, the cooler water from the rad is pumped quicker through the t-stat. If the t-stat is stuck open or slow to close then the temp guage will drop...
.........Just a theory mind you 
Does the temp guage also drop on motorway journeys ?....if so, then it is probably a stuck open t-stat
