My reading of the BEA document is that at least 2 out of 3 Pitot tubes were actually working correctly just before the real stall, but wouldn't have been trusted. We don't know what the 3rd pitot derived airspeed was displaying - it could have been reading high at this altitude if total pressure locked in from FL350.
