It could be possible that HUDs enable opportunities for error that are not apparent with an autopilot.
Many factors in overrun accidents (and solutions) are given in
ALAR TEM; HUD does not appear in the listings either as positive or negative input; have any significant issues been encountered during Cat 3 HUD operations?
Perhaps the crew had a bad day, and then again maybe not...
