There is a power point presentation by Airbus Guide to Final Approach Mode. I think it was in 2011. whatever I stated was out of that. However "If the plane does unusual things, just take over and report." is the correct approach. I also have been an advocate of this. Especially FBW aircraft procedures should be designed by the manufacturer because they are the creators of the design philosophy and have the software, the hardware, wind tunnel and test pilots, mere FCOM just not good enough for that. Also they have global accident data base. What one airline wants to do may have already failed in another part of the world. At least airlines need to consult them about the changes envisaged. Arbitrary change of priority for monitoring of FMA in go around caused incidents in three airlines which could have easily been been accidents.
