A320, speedbrakes and Vls

Hi!

When using speedbrake on the -320, the Vls is going up. Therfore, I've been warned to be careful with the speedbrake, especially when heavy/slow...

Now, can anyone tell me what will actually happen if the pilot allows the Vls to reach and exceed the current speed? Will the autothrust add thrust to maintain Vls? Or maybe in Open Des will the AP/FD command pitch down? Or will the FBW/ATHR just allow to fly below the speedbrake Vls?
