The text below the box says to do the slats "during" (not after) flight path recovery. In the box, the indentation places it under "when out of stall," at the same level as flight path recovery.
So it's not preventing you from doing it as soon as the stall is broken, thrust is increased, and speedbrakes are in. (However it can not be done before those things, for obvious reasons)
In your profile view diagram, at position 1, if you're in a configuration that's ready for flight path recovery (thrust is increased and speedbrakes are in) at position 1, then you can already be doing the flight path recovery there, which effectively makes position 2 be the same place as position 1.
