No.
Absent pilot input would it remain deflected or would it zero itself? I think you answered the question implicitly below as "yes".

A few pages back, someone noted that Airbus pilots don't usually have their feet on the pedals in the cruise.
But once PF was flying manually in ALT 2 he would have his feet on the pedals.
The BEA report noted the PNF commenting about ALT law. It did not say the PF indicated he was aware of this. He should have been. But other crashes indicate sometimes the PF fixates on one problem and starts dangerously ignoring the world.
