As I read this, alternate law pitch control is not identical to normal law.
Following from A330 Instructor Support Manual
As a summary with ALTN law:
  • within the Normal Flight Envelope, the handling characteristics are the same in pitch as with the normal law
  • outside the Normal Flight Envelope, the pilot must take proper preventive actions to avoid loss of control, or high speed excursions as he would do it on any non protected A/C.
Would seem to make sense, otherwise the A/P would need to function differently in either law, and so would the pilot using the SS.
