Actually no - he was well aware of their situation and focused on trying to get the number 4 engine restarted as ordered by the captain, in fact they called the relief FE up to assist him. This was just prior to the upset.
What he did not do was inform the captain that he'd ordered a restart of the engine when the aircraft was 11,000 feet higher than the maximum relight altitude - but I'm not sure if that was either a memory item for the FE, or in the QRH.
