I don't believe our RB211-524s nor PW4056/4062s go into high idle during reverse, though they do go into an unannunciated alternate EEC mode. All our FCOM 1 says is:

Approach idle decreases acceleration time for go-around. Approach idle is maintained until 5 seconds after touchdown, when minimum idle is selected.

Hope that helps.
