Can wrong readings from Vertical Speed Indicator (e.g. caused by icing) affect all on board instruments and give false readings?
Russian citation you provided is not about wrong speed indicator reading. It's about using A/T in speed stabilization mode and autopilot in vertical control. It can cause engine to go IDLE due to A/T signal priority. They suggest, that pilot tried GA with autopilot, but due to A/T setup, there was no reaction.
Sorry for misunderstanding. I asked this question without any relation to the Russian citation.

May I repeat it?
