I doubt it. The ACARS Message was timestamped 213 as opposed to the initial one which was following the ECAM messages. They were timestamped 210.

Somewhere in the old Thread we learned that once an ECAM message has been posted it will not be sent again. Therefore the original message for disconnection of AP / A/THR was not repeated even if it occured a second time.

This points to a separate action i.e. potential re-engagement and second automatic disconnection of AFS.
This concides timewise with the loss of ACARS signal and the Cabin Vertical Speed advisory, which points to a severe (second) upset following/connected to this potential second disengagement of Auto Flight System(s).

The sequence could indeed match to the scenario mentioned in the AD.
