There's a difference between not flaring and not enough flaring. In not flaring at all the PF stick is in neutral so if the other pilot flares then it's single input and the aircraft response is normal. Not flaring enough the PF stick is out of neutral, here any input from the other side will be additive to it. Since flare and Landing is a visual manoeuvre if one is able to differentiate the change in flight path and adds his input accordingly then it will still produce the desired result even with dual input warning. The problem is if the PF for some reason pushes the side stick forward then the PM input will be cancelled and aircraft will continue it's Flight path. So the gist is if is you want to salvage the Landing you will have to do something in an approved or not approved manner. If the result is not satisfactory execute a GA. This the Achilles heal of Airbus FBW so perhaps the discomfort makes each one find his own solution.
