Well touching the FCU as PF without AP is a debriefable moment here, and there before too. I would still do the same when needed and follow up exactly as you describe, but get finger pointed.
My note was that underachieving on SOP is the first incline of a slippery slope. A trained pro knows how walk that line, needless to say.
To the original OP dilemma, IMHO the FCOM if fulfilled does not have a workable solution for this basic scenario.
