I'll add to your "is it legal" a less concise question.
Is it right?

Good point, in that a pitch increase to 5 deg at that power setting would seem to result in a climb and deceleration, where on wasn't required, nor desired. Indeed, some minutes before, the crew had remarked on how a planned climb could not be done since temps had not developed as forecast.
Why go from S & L to decelerating climb when there is no need for it?
If this is what the BEA contact is suggesting, I am puzzled as to why.
