I'm not assuming, I use the Data in the AD
So lets see the data.

IMHO, this doesn't match with your explanation of the failure:

Reason:
On A330/A340 aircraft, the Flight Control Primary Computer 2 (FCPC2)
and FCPC3 are supplied with power from the 2PP bus bar. Electrical
transients on the 2PP bus bar occur, in particular during engine n.2 failure
on A330 aircraft or engine n.3 failure on A340 aircraft. Such electrical
transients lead to a FCPC2 reset. FCPC3 reset does not occur thanks to
the introduction of second electrical power supply to FCPC3 from 1PP bus
bar associated to Electrical Contactor Management Unit (ECMU) standard
5.
During the evaluation of specific engine failure cases at take-off on Airbus
flight simulators, it has been evidenced that with FCPC1 inoperative, in the
worst case, when FCPC2 and FCPC3 resets occur during rotation at take
off, a transient loss of elevator control associated with a temporary
incorrect flight control law reconfiguration could occur. It leads to a
movement of the elevators to the zero position, which induces a pitch
down movement instead of a pitch up movement needed to lift off. In
addition, it leads to a limitation of the pilot authority in pitch axis and limits
the capacity to counter the pitch down movement during this flight phase,
which constitutes an unsafe condition.
