May be PIC pushed "GO AROUND" button, but nothing happened? As I can understand, not everything recorded by FDR.
There is almost a whole chapter in the report that deals with discarding that possibility. There was even a goaround being executed on Apr. 6, 2010 extracted from the Flight Data Recorder. See Page 150 (English). And yes, they claim that even when automatic GoAround is impossible the button activity would have been recorded. Makes sense - the FDR is for recording all actions regardless if they make sense or not.
