If a malfunction in the FCC allows simultaneous signals from the Automatic and Main Electric trim to arrive at the Controller, then that might explain the reported test results - just speculating here.

This is correct. Everything happening within the assembly of the Eaton motor will not be in the wiring diagrams. One would have to look in the technical customer manual of that device.
