You are correct regarding the A300's and A310's...... but they are not FBW aircraft. If I recall these events are similar to the Iceland B757 i.e. fighting the THS/trim.

Whilst it is possible to make a horlicks of any go-around, the current FBW family of Airbus products do provide a great deal of protection. Go around in an (current) Airbus is straight forward..... push the levers to TOGA and either let the A/P do the work or just pitch to SRS and engage the A/P. Simples! If in the excitement you over pitch then the protections should help you.

There was an A330 loss during a test flight at TLS during a go-around.... can't remember the details but I think it involved a simulated engine failure during the go-around/ altitude aquire (ALT*) phase with insufficient altitude to recover
