When your flaps lock on approach, are there any manouevre restrictions stated by Airbus? If your engine is lost in the same scenario, are there any manouevre restrictions? Remembering, Flaps locked means you will be flying below S speed without flap!
Incidently, single engine Flight Director restrictions on departure, are related directly to net climb gradients, and not an flight envelope limit.
Airbus " Flying below manuevre( sic ) speed for the configuration is acceptable, provided speed is greater than VLS ".
Mentioned in two Airbus manuals 1) Instructor Support 2) Flight Crew Training Manual. Both with reference to the approach scenario of ATC asking you to maintain speed a few knots below 'S'.
