bearfoil,
please bear in mind that the gap betwen Alpha = 2,5° (Cruise AoA) and Alpha = 4° (Stall Warning) is not really much if you are forcing the aircraft from level flight to a RoC of 7000fpm within seconds.
A Pull- Up sufficient to achieve this RoC in a short time would be easily sufficient to briefly exceed the STALL WARNING threshold (which is btw not the real stall AoA), especially when some turbulence contributes to it.
