First answer was almost certainly correct.

The PTU specifically does not operate on the ground when Y system hyds power the doors - which is why it is tested during engine start. In hundreds of sectors on the airbus, I have only manually selected pumps (and hence PTU) on the ground about twice, so that's a pretty unlikely explanation.

I believe that Airbus don't recommend single engine taxying.
