"Unless you're saying that it's possible for the FBW system to command up elevator with commensurate THS trim to maintain G-loading in this scenario I don't see how we're disagreeing."

That is indeed what I'm saying. If this recent understanding of mine is correct, it may be relevant to AF447, even though the BEA indicates that the PF was making pitch inputs. I don't think the loss of IAS data would necessarily alter the FBW logic in this regard. You may note that I've added a rider to my previous post.
