That's seriously sucky. Also I swear I've had two or three cars whose gas gauges behaved similarly--Slow decrease until half then rocketing down to E from there.
There is a reason for that I've heard before. The fuel tank isn't uniformly built, the top half of it is physically wider (therefore bigger) than the bottom half. Not sure why manufacturers couldn't build this into the gauge though.
From my experience, my car doesn't do that, but what it does do is the needle stays at full for 20-30 miles and only then starts moving.
