What you are describing is "lift-off oversteer", which is a function of vehicle's weight distribution, and not the rear vs front wheel drive. A desirable mild understeer is easy enough to engineer into a RWD car.
There is also "power-on oversteer" which will occur in a RWD car without suitable control if the road conditions are bad enough, eg. on ice. "Power-on understeer" occurs in FWD cars. The appropriate solution here for both FWD and RWD is electronic stability control (which is pretty much standard at least where I live (Australia)), and particularly easy to implement with electric drive.
