As the system is supposed to work (based on what I understand of it) that seems to be the case, but what has Svarin concerned seems to be the system not working as advertised ... which would lead the cockpit crew into some confusion regarding "what instruments are right?" and "what is it doing now?" In that state of confusion, attention to flying can easily be diverted, and
diverted attention is one of the few hypotneses available to explain
an inadvertent 3000 foot climb. <-------- That makes little sense.

If there's a bug, how to you find it? How much time and effort, and what initial conditions are necessary, to replicate it?
And,
cui bono? (Small bit of tinfoil on me head for the following)
What incentive does AB have to pursue a very low probability bug with only circumstantial, and possibly second or third order, evidence? From a practical point of view, how do you determing the initial conditions (internal to the system) to try and trigger it? With a certain amount of information missing ... it may not be doable.
