It doesn't.
But if it was accurate and they were still airborne at the intersection of the old RW31 then that was not the place to be in a 737.
On closer examination of the data, that seems unlikely. Height over the piano keys (after adjusting for QNH and elevation) was about 40' AAL. There are two subsequent plot points after that, approaching the cross runway, but those indicate 100 feet lower, which is clearly impossible.
It wouldn't be altogether surprising if hitting the runway with enough force to drive the gear up through the wing had also done strange things to the Mode S air/ground logic.
