Please clean your monocle!
The BEA Interim Report No3 actually said,
"The airplane's pitch attitude increased progressively beyond 10 degrees and the plane started to climb."
That was in relation to the initial climb, but during the second phase the SW activated at AoA 5.9°, AOAmax was passed at 7.6°, and CLmax 'break' occurred at 9.6°.
