There is a small note in the FCOM 3 that states that in situations of full power being applied with an engine shutdown (still in normal law) that loss of control may be reached in low speed situations before control laws activate.
That's because whilst there is AoA protection while airborne, there is no VMCA protection. You will lose control through lack of rudder authority, not because of a wing stall.
