But others have posted that it's an energy warning, and not a mere speed indication. Who am I to trust? CaptainMongo posted something that looks like a manual excerpt, which lends credibility to his version.

As I can see, you need to add energy into the aircraft... if in thr idle then adding 10kt doesn't achieve the aim, but if you are in speed mode it will give you a boot full of thrust which surly is what you want?
If CaptainMongo is right that it's an energy warning, and the thrust is constant and the speed is gained by pitching down, then it adds more drag and only increases the rate of energy loss. If thrust is added then nevermind what I just said.
