The spoilers don't come up on the first touchdown. After the bounce he holds the attitude at first, as you should, but then the spoilers deploy fairly slowly and it is then that the pitch increases. I am a boeing man so I don't know what effect (if any) spoiler deployment has on pitch on an A320. Come to think of it since it is probably full ground spoiler deployment rather than just flight spoiler not many airbus chaps will have experienced it either.
