Machinbird,

As you climb indicated speed/mach will increase, the autopilot/flt directors will command an increasingly high rate of climb to cater for it. With a high rate of climb and with actual speed reducing fast, the increased indicated speed will take the aircraft into the overspeed protections. Just when you want to reduce pitch to normal levels to avoid the stall the aircrafts protection system will stop you from lowering the nose.
