It looks to me as if that section of the manual (2d.8.1) deals with an engine malfunction where the engine is still producing thrust. In which case their procedure makes absolute sense.
Can you find
the “Loss of Thrust At or Above V1” guidance.
?
Is there a 2d.8.2 or 3 or 4 etc?
Either I am barking up the wrong tree, or everyone else is!
