Thus far there have been no emergency fixes released for the A330 in terms of hardware or software, but there has been a new stall recovery procedure which instructs use of the sidestick to push the nose down. This suggests to me that Airbus and the BEA got positive autotrim response when they tried it on their A330 sim.
And we have Jacques Rosay, Airbus VP Chief Test Pilot, who states :
In certain cases, an action in the same direction on the longitudinal trim may be needed.
