Bus SOPs say when heavy and high and suffering an unreliable airspeed non normal pull full aft side stick and set TOGA?
No they don't, but the SOP's do call for full backstick for EGPWS and up to full backstick and nearly 18 deg nose up for windshear in normal law.

I can't help but wonder if Bonin was simply subconciously reverting to a muscle memmory type response or similar.

the A330 design really can't be blamed here it acted beautifully. It got confused so it handed all controll back to the humans just as you would want it to. It even remained stable enough in a deep stall for the wings to stay levelled. Unfortunately the humans didn't follow the published attitude/thrust settings for an airspeed unreliable, they didn't seem to realize that they were in alt law, they didn't seem to realize that stall stall is a function of alpha vanes and not AIS so they WERE stalling.
