In a word, No, or at least not that I can find.
The report is light on survivability, although as Appendix E states this is an ideal study case as evidence was not destroyed by fire.
It appears from what Appendix E says, that separate survivability study(s) may be being undertaken - which would explain the low level of info in the report.
Looking at the crash damage and the injury / fatality distribution that
is in the report, my feeling is that anyone in the cockpit experienced the highest g forces and was extremely unlikely to survive, whether promptly reached or not. Any "problem" with the secure cockpit door would appear to still have the status of rumour rather than confirmed fact.
