This kinda seems like one of those situations where things plainly are differently than expected. Since we consider that TK is basically invisible hands, then we can look at it as instead visible hands picking someone up. If the hands aren't big enough to engulf the person, they absolutely can dodge when held, just not well (the implied -4 does that from a normal grapple). It actually makes sense to me that it would be easier to dodge when you have a sturdy base (someone's hand picking you up) versus an unsturdy base (gravel combined with gravity).
