Been having a minor problem lately, but it doesn't seem to be happening in any predictable or regular way.
Occasionally, when starting from a full stop, the Stella will surge forward, rabbiting slightly. It's mild enough that I can keep the bike under control. I know it's not me because it doesn't do it all the time and there's no difference in how I'm accelerating when it does/doesn't do it.
It was especially problematic last night, though, when I was stopped on a steep hill. It pitched forward a couple times and I thought might stall.
Could it just be the clutch cable acting up or slipping and needing adjustment or tightening?

Yep...what hallo said. It's pretty normal for for new cables to stretch a little bit.
Turn the adjuster out. Adjust it so that you are making the total of the outer a little bit longer.
I would suggest buying a fourth hand tool
The barrel adjuster should do fine now...but your gonna need one of these sometime
