The following describes (from the A330 Instructors Manual) the Pitch characteristics in Normal Law - same in Alternate Law.


It can be deduced that the elevator response is related to pilot input and modified as function of Pitch Rate / Flight Path rate or G at High Speed.

As KCAS was low at the time you have been discussing, the elevator was acting more in accordance with pilot input, rather than G.
