Designed to respond in as similar a manner as possible though. Remember type conversion between the two is supposed to be largely a matter of learning new numbers (and the odd difference in systems behaviour).
I'd have tested in an A330 sim, but there wasn't one available.
Also worth bearing in mind that according to the DFDR traces, the nose did come down below the horizon several times during the stall, even with the THS at 13 degrees nose up. None of the nose-down inputs were enough or held long enough to have commanded the pitch-down achieved, so I think it's reasonable to assume that the A330 is fairly benign in terms of stall characteristics.
