I have a pretty strong hunch that there are (or were) similar gotchas in the stall warning systems of all modern airliners, because 99.9(rec)% of the time it's a logical assumption to make.
This is where revision of the basics comes in again, because pilots should be able to recognise the symptoms of a stall without having to rely on the warning instrument in the event that the warning instrument fails. No sales department of any manufacturer likes to talk about the possibility of their product going wrong, and with airline management coming increasingly straight out of an MBA without experience of the industry, pilots are the last line of defence and, for better or worse, have to think the unthinkable and prepare for it - because if they don't, there's a chance that no-one else bar the aircraft's designers and engineers have.
