On the 737 that would certainly help in a high power situation. But in this case given the speed reducing to 130 knots it is not clear what the autothrottle was doing. The real mode confusion occurred when selecting the climb detent rather than TOGA. I seem to remember an A320 go-around at CDG where problems occurred when TOGA was not selected.
