TL position when in reverse

It seems to me that on the od JT-8D, that you could not get reverse unless the Thrust lever was closed. And if it was in reverse, the thrust lever was physically held from being moved forward.

Reading this incident report about an A300 that ended up having an engine in reverse after a go-around, it sounds like the thrust lever can be moved forward when reverse has been selected but the engines computer will keep it at idle.

Is this how it is now for all the modern engines such as CFM, CF6, Trent, etc?

Thanks.
