It's quite possible that the engineer was focusing on TIT to the exclusion of everything else. I've seen this same thing where the FE is so focused on the power setting parameter, that he fails to monitor the other parameters. FWIW, the FE was fairly inexperienced. A little over a year as an FE, and less than 200 hours flight experience.
