-aha! Yes, it may work there, I think (although I'm surprised the A/P has enough authority to oppose the trim change), but I would not mind betting that 99% of pilots right now would take 'normal' stall recovery action with stick shake at that height with possible 'ground contact' at the back of their minds? Let's have a straw poll - stick shake at around 500'; how many will leave the A/P coupled to the ILS, select full power, not touch TOGA or the trim switch and continue the approach? I would expect most would conduct a g/a since presumably you would anyway, even if you recover. I don't think landing of that sort of approach is 'a good idea'! Maybe a re-emphasis of the footnotes by company training departments is called for.
The effect of power/pitch couple is not uncommon - even BA had a 747 at extreme attitudes and very low speed during a g/a at LHR with this.
