Solved, not, discussed at most as just reminded by infrequentflyer789 here.
Diagnostic also kindly sent me some references of interest, but more related to the spiky traces phenomena in general. here and here.

No trace indeed, but unequivocally written : "Le vol est effectué sur la route prévue en modes ALT CRZ / NAV."
"The flight followed the route envisaged in modes ALT CRZ / NAV."
IMO this has to be seen as a general comment only. As a matter of fact, the flight was not proceeding in NAV anymore but in HDG.

The FD/AP VERTICAL MODE is a critical parameter for the all event, after, but also before the AP disconnect.
BEA ... where is the trace ?
