If as ALEXBAN says the 2300kg is the minimum to keep the pumps wet on takeoff this might well have something to do with the NG loosing fuel prime from the centre tanks. If this happens then whatever was in the tank becomes unuseable. It take a fill of about 6 tonnes in the centre to reprime the pumps. Not possible in flight.
