A Brief Explanation Please?

For the benefit of those of us not familiar with Airbus systems could someone who knows just briefly explain what they believe the CX crews are doing that would trigger these reports please?

Are they selecting flaps up, (by increments), when the speed shows them to be 'in the parish' and relying on the safety system to take care of things? Just my guess, nothing more.

Seems highly unlikely that they would deliberately select flaps 'up' when below the indicated flap speed unless they felt it was safe to do so.

Enough speculation! Any answers please?
