A similar event has occured in the past when operating a mixture of (mostly) flap 5 takeoffs with the odd flap 1 departure (for perf reasons) thrown in for luck.

The result is the crews become used to retracting the flaps to 1 at AA. So if you depart flap 1 (and don't think about it-distraction etc) then the flap lever gets moved at AA...
