"The EEC responded correctly to a reduction in fuel flow to the right engine"

Read your block quote again, there was a reduction in fuel flow. To both engines, followed by correct mechanical responses. Cavitation could not have happened if Fuel had been flowing within parameters.

"Followed by a similar response in the left EEC to a diminished flow..."

Since both engines continued to run, though not at commanded thrust, one assumes ignition was present, but insufficient Fuel to produce commanded thrust. Interesting thought though, and #2 did cease spinning prior to cowl crushing at impact. Hmmm.
