Chesty, the difference is that on take off, the speed is controlled through the MCP window, not the flap lever, and both target speed and level off tend to be higher, so a wider margin over minimum speed is commanded and usually attained before Alt Aqu can knock it back to a speed below safe flying speed for the flap position.
