I think there's a misunderstanding between speed limits and safety valve speed inhibition. Beyond 260kt the safety valve cuts off the hydraulics. So it doesn't work. Other speeds are limits which are not to be exceeded but the operation is not inhibited. Normally they are tested beyond those speeds but reliability of operation cannot be guaranteed. It may, may not or partly operate. Repeated exceedance will surely cause damage.
