Believe me, I did.

My remark was mostly to your assertion that "autothrust was disengaged". It wasn't. It disconnected automatically. And much later than the thrust increase on engine #2.

The two events are not causally connected, except in the sense that the fact that A/THR disconnected late was a causal factor in A/THR still trying to maintain approach speed, and thus increased thrust on engine #2. The WB-Graph shows causal relations quite clearly. I invite you to take a look at it, if you haven't already. It is not final. I'd appreciate your comments on it.
