SKS,
I think you are close to what might have happened, just one minor comment:
The nose won´t slam down if braking action is between medium and poor, regardless of AB setting. And those are the friction co. they probably have encountered. If there is hardly any braking action, then there is no force opposite to flight direction below the CG that will cause an acc. along the lateral axis.
