I think they are inhibited above 1500 feet AGL on the classic 767. Also, you wouldn't get an EGWPS alert at 6000 feet over East Texas. But like everybody else, I'm pulling at straws trying to think of why you would go to max thrust before the pitch over.

I suspect that the NTSB has a good guess between the CVR and FDR but need to be cagey in their public release of information until they have confirmation.

From today's NTSB update:

A cockpit voice recorder (CVR) group was convened and will complete a transcript of the entire event. The CVR transcript will be released when the public docket is opened.

Unfortunately, it is usually months before the public docket is opened in a major investigation.
