Er, I'm pretty sure this was discussed on the previous thread - some time ago they not only "admitted" that it was a problem, they changed the behaviour so that when A/THR kicks out, the thrust remains at the last setting the A/THR commanded. The thrust setting does not change until the pilots touch the thrust levers.
I hope you are correct, and indeed if you are, I am more than willingly to retreat.

Looking at post #379 and that graphic, it seems to show that that thrust went to TOGA @ 2:10:51.

Then again the handling pilot may have selected TOGA rather than AT logic.

Time will tell.
