The pilot, or the AP, set the trim in order to relieve the effort on the flight control command once the desirable attitude is established. That effort is related to the real airspeed, not the indicated one.
I imagine the hydraulic jacks have the capacity to measure the effort applied on them the same way the pilot would feel it through his arm (?)
I don't see it as a question of "misposition" but more as an inappropriate amplitude of movement (the Rudder Travel Limiter Unit would be duped by a false indicated airspeed - See the graph posted by
mm43
earlier)
Also, for the 330, the outboard ailerons could be displaced when actually only the inboard ailerons should move for higher speeds.
I personally don't subscribe to such theory, but it doesn't mean I'm correct, I could learn something I'm not yet aware of.
