One possible reason for this profile is something I have seen in light aviation training - a confusion between stalling and zero g. If the push results in reduced g or slightly negative g, it can be percieved as the aircraft stalling, and so pic continues to push forwards to 'unstall' the aircraft. And the result is similar to that profile.
To your point, see the
"pilot's perceived flight path" in the chart below.
Also disconcerting: The moment shortly before impact when F/O says:
"Where are we going?".
