If I understand your comment, the PF was over-reacting to the large amount of forward control force required to counter the power pitch couple by running far too much APND trim, however the report also mentions the somatogravic effect which can be mitigated by disciplined instrument flying. The HUD was originally intended to be a landing aid to allow visual acquisition of the environment while monitoring the instruments during the landing phase in Low Visibility Ops. It would appear that the HUD is now routinely used instead of the PFD for all flight modes, but looking at the clouds through the HUD may have increased the perception of a pitch up viewed through the HUD, particularly if the Landing Lights may have been illuminating the cloud layer as they flew through it.
