To me, this is the other side of incorrect takeoff data case. Now retired, but I have lots of time in the A330 and there was never an operation in which a runway the length of 04L was insufficient in normal ops. So there was incorrect data either sensed or inserted in software at some point.

Very difficult for captain & crew to assess and then make a decision as to the level of safety and inherent risks.

There are certainly times when an experienced crew may, in all good sense, set aside what appears to be unreasonable data and just fly the airplane, not the chips. But of course, the correct decision is to go-around if the aircraft software driving the warning says it is unsafe to proceed as to do otherwise would be indefensible should something, (anything!), untoward occur.

They landed on the third attempt…one wonders what changed and why.
