My guess is that a combination of high energy and low go around altitude could inhibit the AP from entering ALT ACQ, especially if the stabiliser is not properly trimmed and the pilot is "pushing" on the wheel during the manoeuvre. The pilot could then be distracted by trying to engage the AP unsuccessfully without trimming the aircraft appropriately. Of course there must be a combination of all these adverse factors but I believe Your operator wants to consider the worst case scenario. Maybe the same considerations can be applied for the remaining points.
