I suspect that as well. Plus, I would add that these trucks have so much low end torque it is easy to put too much power to the rear wheels no matter how lightly you press the go pedal.

Upon doing more research it appears the "anti spin" feature on these trucks should of kept this from happening. Interesting.

Yes, it should have. There's plenty of YouTube videos showing how well it works in all types of situations including one guy going up an icy hill that a Toyota is flat stick on. Shows how the rear tires both spin together.

If yours didn't kick in with that little bit of mud, then there is something wrong, bad sensor or something. It's the same electronic system that allowed the mustang to go up the hill and divert traction to the non spinning tire.

The reason the Mustang got up the hill is it has a TractionLok rear diff, (Ford's name for a limited slip diff) the F150's anti spin still should of worked though.
