I have experienced this sort of thing on the bus before (but to a much lesser degree, thank god!) and while I am fairly new to FBW it seems to me that a little bit of crosscontrols on the flare might help things. This is however not recomended by Airbus. The computers just don't react fast enough to the wing drop when the drift is removed and the aircraft just behaves as a boeing would if you don't apply into wind aleron. What is the harm of anticipating this by applying into-wind sidestick as you decrab (ie crosscontrols)? On adition while it is prefered to touch down with both main wheels at the same time is it not safer to definetely touch down with the upwind wheel rather than possibly touch down with the downwind wheel?
