I would term that a 'spurious' stall warning. I had a spurious stall warning at about 400 ft on a flapless approach in a VC10 when sticking AoA probes (the jet had been in the desert without a decent wash for too long) jumped, triggering phase advance and a sudden stick push.....

Direct reading AoA gauges should be installed in all airliners. Not some extra thing displayed electronically, just a simple, direct instrument.

The Russians used to have a combined AoA gauge and g-meter in many of their aircraft. What an excellent safety aid that must have been!
