After that Korean airliner botched the landing in California, I read that, while their pilots ostensibly get the same training as every other pilot, different things are emphasized, and that may be the case here as well. Additionally, although Airbus has had years to get past such problems, their aircraft have had issues before in rough weather with the onboard computer systems trying to react to spurious flight conditions (due to icing of the pitots).

Hoist on their own pitots, so to speak? ;)
