The procedure as described by the OP (identical to my understanding of the FCOM book) is inadequate. Respecting a high level rule that PF instructs, a task sharing model is created which increases workload and is inpractical to use. One that is being avoided by trained crews intending their reasonable best in every day line ops.

When under AP, the PF does not instruct, he just sets the FCU and then tells what he's set.
So this argument does not seem entirely convincing. In manual flight, he could also set the FCU himself, and keep the PM in the loop by saying what he's set, just like AP flight.
I did not understand the end of your message though ?
