CF6, I wasn't involved in this investigation, but I knew a guy that was. IIRC the problem was the pilot pushed TOGA then changed his mind and continued the landing. The pilot claimed the engines didn't respond to the thrust levers, but as you noted he'd missed one and they went off the end. (but again it's been 23 years, my memory may be faulty).
