Hi DozyWannabe,
However, stall warning should imply that the aircraft is not in Normal Law
I agree.
In the cold light of day and in an arm chair - that's an easy question to answer.

However, you believed one should never hear an overspeed warning when in Normal Law - because it says so in the manual - but it is possible.
It also says in FCOM that the stall warning will sound until the angle of attack is reduced to a safe margin - not true.
QRH 2.15 recommends 5 degs pitch with Climb Power. Since Alpha was > 45degs - that wouldn't have worked either.
Nose down activated the stall warning again (bit confusing?).
Altimeters were winding down > 10,000 ft per min - was a computer problem or a breach in the static ducts allowing cabin pressure into the static lines?
W.T.F.I.G.O?

It's taken me longer to write this than they had to recover.
