Well, I replied just to add something to what I think is perfectly correct:
Up to A330 when ATHR is blue there is no protection. But with ATHR active may be in THR CLB or THR IDLE and if you do not fly FDs properly and speed reaches either MAX speed or drops below VLs the FMA is removed and ATHR reverts to speed and managed speed target changes to selected to recover the speed.
Where we were talking about speed dropping below Vls as well, so...
Otherwise I agree with you.
